When you need a great foolproof recipe to feed family and friends, roasts are the way to go. The active time is really minimal, they feed a crowd and they look oh-so impressive. A ribeye is a great go-to cut of meat. The beef is well marbled giving you a beautiful flavor while riding the line between tender and perfectly chewy. This simple preparation will always give you exceptional results, leaving you more time to chat with your company or slave over those side dishes.
Tip
Prime, Choice, Select? What to choose? Prime is the best, and also the most expensive. If you want to shell out the cash, this is a great option. Choice is still a great cut, one step down from Prime, and also less expensive. Select is the lowest grade and will give the least desirable results. You're better off paying the extra few bucks for Prime or Choice

Things You'll Need
4–5 lbs. ribeye roast
2 Tbsp. kosher or sea salt
1 tsp. fresh cracked black pepper
1 tsp. finely minced fresh rosemary
1. Bring the roast to room temperature
Remove the roast from the refrigerator and allow to sit at room temperate for about an hour. This will help the beef cook more evenly. Preheat the oven to 350° F.

2. Season the meat liberally
In a small bowl stir together the salt, pepper, and rosemary. Rub the spice mixture all over the meat.
3. Cook the roast
Place the roast on a roasting rack in a roasting pan, and place in the lower 1/3 of the oven. Roast until the internal temperature reaches 125° F (roast will raise 5 degrees in temperature once you remove it from the oven), about 1 ¼ hours. The roast will take about 18 minutes per pound but the most accurate way to test doneness is with a meat thermometer.
4. Remove roast from the oven
Remove the roast from the oven and allow to rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing. Slice against the grain. Serve and enjoy!
