Description
This Cranberry Balsamic Ribeye Roast recipe blends juicy ribeye with a tangy-sweet glaze of fresh cranberries and balsamic vinegar. A perfect holiday roast or Sunday dinner, this flavorful ribeye roast recipe delivers gourmet results with minimal effort.
Ingredients
3 to 4 lb ribeye roast
2 cups fresh cranberries
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1/3 cup honey
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 325°F and pat the ribeye roast dry. Season with salt and pepper.
2. In a skillet over medium-high heat, heat olive oil and sear the roast on all sides until a golden crust forms.
3. In a saucepan, combine cranberries, balsamic vinegar, honey, garlic, and rosemary. Simmer until cranberries burst and glaze thickens, stirring frequently.
4. Place seared roast in a roasting pan or Dutch oven. Pour half the glaze over it. Cover loosely with foil.
5. Roast for about 20 minutes per pound or until the internal temp reaches 130°F for medium-rare.
6. During the last 15 minutes of cooking, brush more glaze over the top.
7. Remove from oven, tent with foil, and let rest 15 minutes.
8. Slice and serve with remaining glaze.
Notes
Resting the roast is essential to keep it juicy.
Use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking.
The glaze can be made ahead and stored in the fridge.
