Garlic Butter Prime Ribeye Roast

This is as gourmet as home-cooking can get.  This roast is absolutely delicious and is sure to impress any guest.  It takes some planning and prep to prepare, but it's well worth it!

1 cup butter, softened

7 cloves garlic, minced

2 Tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped

2 Tbsp fresh thyme, finely chopped

1 Tbsp salt

1/2 Tbsp pepper

5 lbs boneless ribeye roast, trimmed

2 Tbsp flour

2 cups beef stock

Set your roast out 30 minutes ahead of your prep time.

Pat dry with paper towel.

Preheat your oven to 500 degrees.

Combine the garlic, butter, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper in a bowl until fully mixed into a compound butter.

Rub the compound butter over the entire rib roast.

Set the roast on a roasting tray with a rack.

Bake the roast for 5 minutes per pound of meat.

Turn off the heat and leave the roast in the oven to sit for 2 hours.

After 2 hours, remove the roast from the oven and the pan and set it aside.

Pour the pan drippings in the roasting tray into a saucepan over medium heat on the stovetop.  

Add the flour into the drippings and whisk until there are no lumps.

Add in the beef stock, constantly stirring and bringing the sauce to a boil.

Remove the sauce from the heat and strain it into a gravy dish. 

Cut the prime rib into 3/4" slices.

Serve with mashed potatoes and green beans, if desired.
