What is Ribeye Roast?

If you're confused by what makes a prime rib and what makes a ribeye roast, you're not alone.

In a lot of ways, they are the same - but a ribeye roast refers to the large, central muscle that runs along a cow's ribs - making up the "eye" of the roast.

If you cut your prime rib roast away from the bones, leaving that eye and a protective layer of fat, you have what's termed a "ribeye" roast.

Ribeye roasts are very similar to prime rib in flavor, but different in how they are cut from the bone.

Is Ribeye Roast Prime Rib?

A cow's first five ribs have tougher muscles from the shoulder, which work best to cook as a pot roast - slow and low for many hours, braised with liquid, to break down the tougher shoulder muscles.

Prime rib is cut from the "prime," or biggest main portion of rib meat that includes the meat that runs alongside sixth through twelfth ribs.

Prime rib is usually trimmed of the fat cap section or rib meat, which leaves the ends of the rib bones cleaned and visible.

Prime rib is sometimes called a "standing rib" roast, because the bones enable it to stand upright for roasting, even though most people cook them down for better roasting these days.

A ribeye roast is cut from the same area as a prime rib roast - but removes the bone before cooking.

While a prime rib roast will include a ribeye roast, a ribeye roast focuses on the marbled ribeye steak meat area - when you buy one, you can easily cut ribeye steaks yourself from the roast - or you can cook as we are here for a rich, juicy, and delicious meaty flavor similar to prime rib and just as indulgent - just with no bones to mess around with!

How To Cook Ribeye Roast

Cooking ribeye roast is far less intensive than other roasts - we prep it by rubbing with seasonings and coating in butter, broil it at a very high temperature for a short amount of time, and then roast for about 2 hours.

Then the roast sits for a half an hour and we slice and serve... making this recipe crazy easy.

Since there are only four steps (prep, broil, roast, rest) they need to be followed exactly.

Be sure to evenly cover your roast with seasonings and butter. Rub salt, pepper, and herbs as well as garlic into any grooves in the meat so you have flavor all over.

Get your oven scorching hot before adding roast to broil, and broil for a full fifteen minutes.

Lower heat and don't touch the roast until it's done - you can check the internal temperature to get to your desired doneness, but otherwise, sit back and enjoy the amazing smell while your oven does the work!

The number one way to mess up this roast is to over-fiddle with it.

LET IT REST. We'll talk about this again in a minute because it's so important - but when your roast is done, let that sucker take a minute to pull itself together.

Don't cut your roast too early. Let those juices get happy to keep your roast tender and juicy!

Do You Have To Tie Ribeye Roast?

Often when making roasts and prime rib, people tie the roast to help keep them round, or to keep a stuffing in - but I prefer to not tie my ribeye roast since the meat stays in a great shape even when cooked without tying. For me, less work always equals a win!

If you'd prefer to tie your roast for a perfect appearance, you certainly can - but I'm an admittedly lazy cook when it's not something absolutely necessary for flavor, and this recipe is fantastic either way!

I am a notoriously lazy cook when it comes to tying things off, I don't even tie off my Roasted Montreal Chicken or my Paper Bag Roasted Turkey - I prefer to move quickly in the kitchen, and tying off a roast isn't necessary, but can improve the look of the roast if you're going for an impressive presentation.

How To Carve Ribeye Roast

Even though prime rib and ribeye roast are incredibly similar, the ribeye roast really shines when it comes time to carve.

Unlike a prime rib, there is no bone in a ribeye roast - so you can cook it whole, and then slice easily to serve.

I slice my ribeye roast similar to how I would slice a meatloaf - cut with a large, heavy knife in a fluid motion to create thick slices, against the grain of the meat.

If your ribeye roast is a bit jiggly, it might still be too warm.

Roast is easier to cut after about 20-30 minutes. After that, you can hold it tightly together with one hand as you slice.

Let Ribeye Roast Rest for 30 Minutes

No matter your carving choices or technique, there is one hard and fast rule you must stick to for juicy and tender ribeye roast:

You must let roast rest for 30 minutes before carving.

If carved too quickly, the roast will quickly release all of it's juices and dry out.

Tent your roast in foil for at least 30 minutes out of the oven before carving.

What Temperature To Cook Ribeye Roast To

Ribeye roast, like prime rib, is best medium rare - which will take about 2 hours 20 minutes roasting time.

For each of these cooktimes, you will actually be looking for 10 degrees under your target for when you pull the roast out of the oven.... because it will continue to cook as you tent it in foil.

The temperature below shows when to REMOVE meat - it will cook another 10 degrees while tented with foil.

For rare ribeye roast, the in-oven temperature should be 105-110 degrees.

For medium rare to medium ribeye roast, the in-oven temperature should be 110 to 115 degrees Fahrenheit.

For well done ribeye roast, the in-oven temperature should be 130 to 135 degrees Fahrenheit.

You can adjust your cooktime based on those temperatures - and remember the sides will be closer to well done while the middle will be much more red/pink - so you can still serve everyone a slice they prefer.

How To Serve Ribeye Roast

Ribeye roast makes for a fabulous centerpiece for Christmas dinners, Sunday suppers, or other dinner parties especially because it is so easy to make.

To serve ribeye roast, I slice into thick slices (similar to prime rib) and serve in a large platter.

I set out horseradish, au jus, or other sauce to dip ribeye roast in.

Ribeye roast is delicious with hearty side dishes like mashed potatoes, grilled vegetables, garlic butter potatoes, and more.

Ribeye roast is even better as leftovers, sliced thinly on rye bread for a delicious ribeye sandwich!

What To Serve With Ribeye Roast

Ribeye roast, like any roast or prime rib, is great with hearty, rich, and delicious home style sides - and of course, is spectacular with perfect mashed potatoes!

Green beans, brussels sprouts, mushrooms,fresh baked artisan bread - they all pair fabulously with this ribeye roast!

Recipe FAQ's

When is ribeye roast done?

For a medium rare ribeye roast (as pictured here), roast is done cooking in the oven at 110-115 degrees.
Remember that the roast will continue to cook after removing from the oven - so cooking over 110-115 in the oven will result in a more done roast.

How long do I cook ribeye roast?

Since ribeye roast can wildly vary in size, you need to go off your digital meat thermometer, not the clock - but plan around 2 hours.

My roast is jiggly and hard to cut - how can I cut it more easily?

If your roast is still a bit jiggly, and hard to get a clean, easy slice, you need to let it rest and set a bit longer. Try 10 minutes, uncovered, to let it rest - and then carve again.
