The holidays are coming that means cooking for a crowd.   In my family Thanksgiving usually means turkey and Christmas means ham.   While I’m fine with the turkey, I’m not all that fond of ham.    More and more I find people are turning to beef roasts at the holidays.   I’ve only ever roasted beef one time so I’m a little bit intimidated by roasting a large piece of beef but I think it would make a stunning centerpiece for a holiday meal.

Herb and Garlic crusted Ribeye Roast with Red Wine Sauce

I was recently introduced to the Certified Angus Beef® brand Roast Perfect App.   It’s a really great app for people who aren’t sure how to make a roast.  We recently invited a few friends over to dinner and I wanted to cook a roast.   All I had to do was type in the type of roast and how many people were coming and the Roast Perfect app told me what size roast to buy.  The one thing I did know was that I was going to buy a Certified Angus Beef® brand roast because it’s the highest quality beef on the market and my husband and I love it.

My husband is the one that actually went to our Giant Eagle store to pick up the roast.  He said they had a lovely selection of steaks and roasts.  He spoke with the man in the meat department and said he was a wealth of information.   He eventually chose a 5 pound boneless ribeye roast and brought it home for me to roast.

The next day I turned to the Roast Perfect app and simply typed in the size of roast I had along with the temperature I wanted it and the app gave me all of the instructions I needed to make the perfect roast.    Since I was still nervous about cooking it, I found a video on the app from Chef Michael Ollier.  I had met Chef Michael this summer at Food and Wine Conference, saw him do a few cooking demonstrations, and tasted his amazing beef so I totally trusted his instructions.  After watching his video I felt prepared to make a roast for my friends.   I also decided to make my own video showing how I prepared my Certified Angus Beef® Brand Ribeye Roast…check it out below!

I started out by cutting a few slits in the top of the ribeye roast and putting in some garlic cloves for flavor.   Then I made a rub of sea salt, black pepper, sugar, rosemary, and parsley and rubbed it all over the roast.  I put it in the oven to sear for 15 minutes and when the timer beeped I was relieved to see the delicious crust that had formed on my roast.  I lower the oven temperature to 325 degrees and let my beef roast for 1 hour 45 minutes.

The smell in my house was amazing.   My husband came into the kitchen twice and all I could hear was him saying, “Man that smells good!” under his breath.   I had to agree, it smelled delicious.  After the timer went off I used a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the roast and then took a piece of foil and covered the roast.   The theory is that the roast will increase in temperature by 5-10 degrees as it rests.   It also causes the juices to collect in the center for a tender and juicy roast.

After allowing the roast to rest I had my husband come out and help me cut it.  He was able to cut it into 6 beautiful steaks.   They were tender, juicy, and a perfect medium rare.   The outside had a nice crust on it and the inside was so moist and flavorful.   All of our guests thoroughly enjoyed their steaks and my husband and I enjoyed ours as well.  I heard nothing but good comments on the beef and the meal.

Since I think all meat needs a sauce to go with it, I made a simple red wine sauce which was a nice compliment.   Everyone tried the sauce and said that it only enhanced the delicious flavor of the beef.   I was so happy that the roast turned out well and that it was really easy to make!  I can’t wait to make another for the holidays.

  1. We do turkey for Thanksgiving too, but I’ve only ever served beef on Christmas. I’m not as big a fan of ham either, so a Standing Rib Roast is perfect! This looks amazing, Heather! You really did a stupendous job! Isn’t that app wonderful?!!

  2. This looks SO good! We’ve only ever had turkey at Thanksgiving at my parents, but when my mother in-law hosts, we always have turkey and beef. I am not a huge ham fan, either.
