    bone-in ribeye roast

    This tender bone-in ribeye roast is well done and it's tender, juicy, and extremely flavorful. Bone-in ribeye roast and prime rib can be prepared in two totally different ways. One is where the meat is medium to medium-rare in the center like you would eat as a ribeye steak (most of the recipes online). And the other is where the meat is well done falling off the bone tender. Both ways of cooking a bone-in ribeye roast are AMAZING.

    roasted prime rib oven

    This specific recipe came about when we invited over some friends for dinner. Not everyone likes their steaks bloody, and we also didn't want to cook the roast in a way that made it too tough. So we decided to go the route of cooking it over a much longer time, like a roast.

    What I Love About This Recipe

    You really can't go wrong with low and slow recipes, like slow roasted lamb shank foils or crispy slow roasted chicken thighs and potatoes. This bone-in ribeye roast recipe is perfect for family gatherings, celebrations, or holidays. It's a great recipe for a large group of people, especially when going for a wow factor. It's not every day that a tender, falling off the bone, bone-in ribeye crosses my path.

    Ingredient Notes

    tomatoes, carrots, garlic, potatoes, onion, and bone-in ribeye roast on a counter.
    • Meat: This recipe is meant for a bone-in ribeye roast or prime rib roast. The size of the roast will affect the cooking temperature and cooking time. Refer to the section below for the exact values.
    • Vegetables: Carrots, potatoes, onions, tomatoes, and a whole head of garlic are excellent vegetables to cook with this roast. The flavors of the vegetables and meat infuse together throughout the roasting process.
    • Broth or Water: I add water or broth to the pan prior to cooking to keep the meat moist throughout the cooking process.
    • Marinade: The marinade is made with honey (optional), fresh garlic, fresh herbs, butter, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Dried herbs can be substituted for fresh herbs. If using dried herbs, cut the quantity in half. Dried herbs are more potent than fresh herbs.

    How To Make Slow Roasted Ribeye

    Preheat the oven to 375 ℉ (190 ℃) for a 7 to 9 lb roast. Check the cooking time and temperature below for a smaller roast.

    adding honey to the other marinade ingredients.

    Prepare the marinade by adding butter, olive oil, honey (if using), crushed garlic, salt, black pepper, chopped fresh rosemary, and chopped fresh thyme into a bowl.

    mixing the butter, honey, and herb marinade together.

    Mix the marinade until it's a soft paste.

    Chop the vegetables and add them to the baking dish. Sprinkle salt and pepper on the vegetables.

    lathering the marinade on the ribeye roast.

    Lather the rosemary garlic marinade on the roast (including the sides).

    adding water to the prime ribeye roast pan.

    Add ½ a cup of water to the pan. The water helps keep the roast moist when cooking.

    Tightly wrap the meat and vegetables. This is the most crucial part of cooking the prime rib or bone-in ribeye roast. The foil creates a vacuum and seals in moisture. I press the foil all around the baking pan lip to form a tight seal.

    Baste the meat at the 3-hour mark. Also, check the meat to ensure a good amount of liquid in the pan. If the pan is running low on liquid, add ½ cup of water or beef stock. Make sure the foil is tightly wrapped (as you did earlier) before putting the roast back in the oven.

    Cook the roast in the middle of the oven at 375 ℉ (190 ℃) for about 4 hours for a 7 lb (3.2 kg) roast. If your roast is a different size, look at the chart below. When you cut into the roast, it should be tender.

    Tips and Tricks

    • The honey is optional. I like the marinade with honey because I feel like it balances out the flavor. But, this ingredient can be omitted if desired. If sweet doesn't appeal to your idea of a roast, skip this ingredient.
    • Don't overcook. There is a delicate balance between moist and tender and dry.
    • Create a very tight seal with the foil. The key to a moist roast is keeping the ribeye roast tightly sealed where no moisture can escape. This is one of the most important steps!
    • Oven temperatures vary. You might need to adjust temperatures depending on your oven.
    • Adjust the cooking temperature if the roast doesn't have a bone. Use this recipe for ribeye roast without the bone by reducing the temperature by 10℉ to 25℉.

    Ribeye Roast Cooking Time and Temperature

    For well done moist and tender meat, cook the roast in the middle of the oven at 375 ℉ (190 ℃) for about 4 hours for a 7 lb (3.2 kg) roast. For every extra lb (or 0.5 kg) of meat, increase the cooking time by 15 minutes. Use this chart for bone-in cuts of meat. If the roast is without bone, reduce the cooking temperature by 10℉ to 25℉ while keeping the cooking time.

    How To Cut A Bone-In Ribeye Roast

    This roast recipe is tender, so it's very easy to carve. I cut in between the rib bones. The meat falls off the bone, so it's not really rocket science.

    What Is The Best Roast?

    I've made this recipe with 3 types of roast: t-bone roast, bone-in ribeye roast, and prime rib roast. My favorite is the bone-in ribeye roast.

    What Is The Best Size?

    Whenever I make this meal, I go for a roast between 5 lbs (2.5 kg) and 9 lbs (4 kg). This meal takes a lot of time to make, so I only make it for dinner parties and holiday celebrations.

    This bone-in ribeye roast recipe (or prime rib roast) is for tender, juicy, well-done meat that falls right off the bone.

    Ingredients
     
    US Customary - Metric

    Ribeye Roast and Vegetables

    • 7 lbs bone-in ribeye roast or prime rib roast ** see notes
    • 2 tomatoes cut in half
    • 2 carrots peeled and sliced
    • 2 potatoes peeled and sliced
    • 1 onion
    • 1 garlic head

    Marinade

    • 2 tablespoons butter
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • 1½ tablespoons sea salt or to taste
    • ½ tablespoon fresh black pepper or to taste
    • 2 tablespoon fresh thyme or 1 tablespoon dried thyme
    • 2 tablespoon fresh rosemary or 1 tablespoon dried rosemary
    • 3 garlic cloves crushed
    • 3 tablespoons honey optional

    Instructions

    Prepare Bone-In Ribeye

    • Crush the garlic using a garlic press or mortar and pestle. Mix softened butter, crushed garlic, honey (if using), olive oil, fresh thyme, fresh rosemary, salt, and pepper.
    • Peel and chop the potatoes, onions, and carrots. Add the potatoes, carrots, and onions to the bottom of the pan. Add the garlic head and tomato halved. Salt and pepper the vegetables.
    • Put the bone-in ribeye roast on top of the veggies. Lather the ribeye with the marinade.
    • Add about ½ cup of water to the pan. Cover the ribeye with foil very tightly (I cover the pan with a few layers of foil). The foil keeps the moisture from escaping.

    Cook Bone-In Ribeye Roast

    • Put the ribeye in a 375℉ (190℃) oven for roasts 7 lbs or larger. See oven temperatures in the chart for smaller roasts.
    • Check on the roast at the 3-hour mark. Baste the juices onto the top of the meat. If the pan is low on liquid, add ½ a cup.
    • The bone-in ribeye is ready to be removed from the oven when the meat is tender.

    Notes

    1. Adjust the marinade amount depending on the size of the roast.
    2. If using a ribeye roast or prime rib without the bone, adjust the cooking time to 10 to 25 degrees F less. The bone acts as an insulator, so the roast will cook faster if there's no bone.
    3. This recipe has been "tweaked" from its original version. The original recipe had a 450F caramelization step that's unnecessary. I've tried it both ways and you can't tell a difference, so I've simplified the recipe to omit it.
    4. Cook a 7 lb (3 kg) roast for about 4 hours. Add 15 minutes for every additional lb (or 0.5 kg). If you have a roast that's less than 7 lbs, keep the 4 hour cook time, but reduce the temperature in the oven 15 - 20 ℉ for every pound. So, if you have a 4 lb roast, cook for 4 hours at 325 ℉. For other ribeye roast sizes, refer to the table below.
    Roast Size Time Temperature
    4 lbs (1.8 kg) 4 hours 325 ℉ (162 ℃)
    5 lbs (2.2 kg) 4 hours 340 ℉ (170 ℃)
    6 lbs (2.7 kg) 4 hours 360 ℉ (182 ℃)
    7 lbs (3.2 kg) 4 hours 375 ℉ (190 ℃)
    8 lbs (3.6 kg) 4 hours & 15 minutes 375 ℉ (190 ℃)
    9 lbs (4.1 kg) 4 hours & 30 minutes 375 ℉ (190 ℃)

        Hi Paula, does the roaster pan have the same temperature range as an oven? I haven't used an oster elctric roaster pan, but I made it in my air fryer and it turned out great.

      I have a 2. 79 lb roast bone in that I want to make for Sunday. Do you have time to tell me exactly how you would cook it. I am not going to use the vegetables because we are having the traditional New Year’s sides. Should I cut the marinade ingredients in half and could I put the marinade on the night before and have it ready to go in the oven the next day. Thank you.

        Hi Sandy, based on your setup I’d cook the roast at 300F for 4 hours covered. It’s fine to skip the vegetables. You can adjust the serving size in the recipe card, and it will give you exact measurements for the marinade. The honey is optional in the marinade.

      UPDATE:
      I made the roast on CHRISTmas day (instead of the day ahead of time) and it came out absolutely perfect!! Thank you SOOO much Lily! For the recipe as well as your quick responses to my questions. I put it in 325 degrees and at the 3 hour mark to check it and baste it, it looked pretty well done and tender, so I just put it for about 30 more minutes at 300 degrees. SUPER easy and delicious!!!! My first prime rib roast!! Thank you!!!!

        It’s not as critical to bring the roast to room temperature like you would need to do if cooking it medium. if you have time let it sit out an hour, and if you don’t have time, you can put it in the oven directly from the fridge.

        Yes you can, and they are quite effective actually. Just don’t exceed the temperature of the bag- I think it’s 350F but you will have to check.

        Absolutely, that would work quite well actually. You want the Dutch oven to be big enough so you can cover it with a lid. I can’t stress this enough- this recipe is more like a roast, going past the well done stage.

        Hi Terri, great questions. This recipe is more like a roast, similar to how you would make like a chuck roast.

        If you are wanting the meat close to pink like medium well, I would not follow this recipe. I’d use another recipe that cooks the ribeye roast to medium, then slice individual portions of the meat and cook them in a pan to the desired doneness. That method is also suitable for reheating.

        • Lily

          December 24, 2022 at 4:20 pm

          I’m just thinking It might get dried out if you make it ahead well done and reheat it. But if you have no other options I would reheat it this way: cut the roast cold before warming it up. Reheat the slices covered in the oven at around 300 F until it is reheated (about 30 to 45 minutes). Hope that helps! Let us know how It goes

      I was excited to find this recipe because I have never made prime rib before and I didn't realize that most recipes are not for well done but my guests and I all prefer our meat cooked beyond pink. I am planning on making this for the first time and I have 2 questions. One, the standing rib roast that I bought is 4.7 pounds but it has been "boned" so there are no bones in it, how do I adjust the cooking time? Two, I don't have the roasting vegetables (potatoes, tomatoes etc, do I need to adjust any cooking time with that also? will it turn out the same without those? Thank you for the recipe!

        Reduce the temperature without a bone by about 20 degrees F. For a 5 lb roast, that would be around 325F.

      Hi, making this for my family on Christmas and happy I found your recipe. I wanted to make my 6lb bone in rib roast like a pot roast instead of all the other recipes I found so thank you for this. Mostly all of the other ones call for a high temp searing at the beginning to develop a crust. 500 for 20 min or so. I see yours does not have that. Thoughts? Is it because of roasting for a lower, longer period? Thanks so much for giving some guidance!

      Reply
      • Lily

        December 20, 2022 at 8:55 pm

        Hi Christy, great question. So, I’ve tried the sear stage and without the sear stage, and my personal experience is that the sear stage is not necessary.
        The roast develops a really nice crust cooking for the long time. Also, I felt like the meat was more moist without the sear, although a lot of people might argue the sear is meant to lock in juices.

        You can certainly sear the roast if you like. I’d recommend something more like 7 minutes on top and 7 minutes with the roast flipped over. The temp I’ve used in the past was 450F, not 500. Let us know how it turns out!

        Hi Amanda! Technically you can make gravy from the drippings of the roast, but I find that this roast is so rich that I prefer not to make gravy for it. If I had to pick a sauce, it would be something light and bright, like a red wine sauce.

        Let us know how it turns out, and if you have any tips or mods you liked!

Do you think it's better to add them at the 3 hour mark when I check the roast? Thanks, I'm so excited to try this recipe it sounds delicious!

          Hi Nisha,
          You can add the potatoes through the cook time if you prefer. After 4 hours they are pretty much disintegrated. You can change up the vegetables to whatever you like under the roast.

      Do I need to bring rib roast to room temperature before cooking? Should it be salted days in advance. This is my first time cooking and I would hate to ruin it. I am going for the well done roast.

        Those are good questions! You don’t have to bring the roast to room temperature since we are cooking it for a long and slow time. It can’t be frozen. You can salt it lightly if you like. Just account for the salt in the butter marinade.

      • Lily

        December 24, 2021 at 3:22 pm

        It works for a boneless ribeye, but you might want to turn down the temperature 10 to 15 degrees F, because without the bone, the roast cooks faster. The bones act as an insulator, so the roast temperature/time will be slightly different. I'd recommend keeping the cooking time, just turning down the oven. Let us know how it turns out!

          Thank you so much for your comment, and I'm sorry the timing was different from the recipe. I hope that didn't cause you any issues! Do you mind going into more detail about how you cooked your ribeye, and how it turned out? Some variations might be: did it have a bone, was it completely well done in the center, what was your indication to pull it out of the oven, and did you use a thermometer. I didn't use a meat thermometer making this recipe, but I'm pretty sure it hit well done about 1 - 1.5 hours before the full cook time. The extra added time (as long as the meat is covered to keep it moist), makes it tenderize, kind of like a slow-roasted brisket if you know what I mean. I hope that helps, and I'm happy to troubleshoot things with you and figure out if I left any steps or tips that can help.

      Hey Lily, do you keep the string around a roast while you cook it?

        Hey Shawn, great question! Keep the twine on the roast while it's roasting if it comes with butcher's twine. Make sure to cut off the butcher's twine before serving. However, if the string is more like a plastic mesh, remove it.

      If I browned the meat, could I then finish it in a slow cooker with the vegetables and juices? I need my oven for other things!

        Good question! If it fits in your slow cooker, then go for it. I've not tried it, but it's a similar process as the low and slow oven roast. Just want to give a couple of other alternatives here as well: you can roast this high-quality meat to a medium/medium-rare and cut down the time of the roasting (chef billy parisi has a great method for this and it's very delicious) OR go with a less expensive cut of meat in the slow cooker.

      Hi...I plan to make this Sunday. Is it possible to prep a day in advance? Also, how long would I cook if I wanted medium doneness?
      Thanks in advance

        Thanks for the comment Monique! To answer your question honestly, I wouldn't follow this recipe if you would like medium or medium rare for your bone-in ribeye. Most recipes online for bone-in ribeye are for medium to medium-rare and the cook times are a lot shorter. I think Billy Parsi has a good recipe I've tried previously. This recipe is really meant for people that want to enjoy a ribeye or prime rib but need to cook it completely well-done. Like for example, if you have guests that only eat well-done red meats, or are pregnant, or suffering from an auto-immune disease. Hope that helps!

      Hi! My bone-in ribeye roast is only 2.63 lbs. Could this recipe work with a cut that small?

      Thank you!

        For a roast that small, I’d cook at 300F for 4 hours, and I would wrap it in parchment paper then tightly wrap it in a few layers of foil (the roast itself) like how the slow roasted lamb shanks are made. Oven temperatures vary, so the best indicator of the roast being finished is checking it! It should be falling off the bone tender.

        Yes, I listed the cook times in the post for differing weights. Just note that this recipe cooks the meat well done!

      Hi making my ribeye roast for Christmas dinner at my dad’s house which is a 1 1/2 hrs away I want to bake it at home and bring it already baked how do I keep it warm until I serve it for dinner?

        Hi Sandie, great question! The meat will have a lot of juices, so I'd recommend transporting it in something with a lid (with the juices). I'd probably then put it in an insulated travel bag. At the location, I'd warm it back up in the oven at 350 F. Ribeye is such a fatty piece of meat, so if the meat is served cold, the fat will solidify. So definitely want to serve this warm!

      How long would you cook a 4lb roast for?
      Check at 2 hours, plan on 3 hours?

        So this sounds counter-intuitive, but keep the 4 hours cook time for a 4 lb roast but reduce the heat to 325 F. The 4 hours is really meant to be a minimum time for a low and slow roast. Let me know how it turns out!

        That combination of flavors makes the delicious crust of the roast.

      This looks like it would be great for a dinner party! I usually get initimidated by the idea of cooking big cuts of meat, but you've made it seem so approachable (and it sounds delicious too!)

        I know how you feel... especially when you drop a lot of money on a big cut of meat, the last thing you want to do it mess it up! This is my tried and true recipe that hasn't failed me.

      When you say cook on top and on bottom for 7 minutes, are you referring to the top/bottom rack of oven or do you turn it over to cook both sides up for 7 minutes? TIA.

        Hey Joe,
        Thanks for the comment- good question! I recommend sticking the roast in the middle of the oven on one side for 7 minutes, then take it out and flip it over on the other side. Stick it back in the oven and blast it for another 7 minutes. I recommend doing this step to help lock in the juices while it slow cooks. Let me know how it turns out for you.

          Hey Kate- great question. That was how the original recipe was written. After making this roast several times, I've omitted the 7-minute sear on both sides.
