Garlic-Butter Rib Roast
Garlic-Butter Rib Roast
Ingredients
2 medium garlic heads (about 2 ounces each), cloves
peeled
1 large (2 ounce) shallot, roughly chopped (about 3
tablespoons)
3 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary leaves
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives, plus more for
serving
5 anchovy fillets (from 1 [2-ounce] can), drained
2 tablespoons kosher salt, divided
4 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper, divided,
plus more for serving
2 cups (1 pound) unsalted butter, softened
1 (5-pound) boneless rib-eye roast, fat cap trimmed to
1/2-inch thick
4 to 6 cups beef broth
2 teaspoons cornstarch
Flaky sea salt, for serving
Directions
Place garlic cloves in a food processor, and process until
almost a paste, about 2 minutes, stopping to scrape down sides as needed. Add
shallot, rosemary, thyme, chives, anchovies, 1 tablespoon of the salt, and 2
teaspoons of the pepper to food processor. Pulse until shallot is finely
chopped, about 5 pulses. Add butter, and process until combined, about 1
minute, stopping to scrape down sides as needed. Transfer half of butter
mixture to a sheet of parchment paper; gently roll and shape into a log; refrigerate
at least 1 hour or up to 3 days. Let remaining butter mixture stand at room
temperature up to 4 hours, or transfer to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate for up
to 3 days; let come to room temperature before continuing.
Season rib-eye roast evenly with remaining 1 tablespoon salt
and 2 teaspoons black pepper. Using a spatula, spread butter mixture in bowl
evenly over rib-eye roast, and transfer roast to a roasting pan fitted with a
rack. Add 4 cups of the beef broth to roasting pan. Let stand at room
temperature 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 450°F. Roast rib roast in preheated oven
until lightly browned, 15 to 20 minutes. Without opening oven door, reduce oven
temperature to 325°F, and continue roasting until a thermometer inserted into
thickest portion of roast registers 130°F, about 1 hour and 40 minutes to 2
hours, occasionally checking liquid level in the bottom of roasting pan, and
adding remaining 2 cups broth as needed to maintain a depth of at least 1/4
inch. Transfer rib-eye roast to a cutting board and let rest for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, pour juices from roasting pan through a fine mesh
strainer into a medium saucepan; discard solids. Bring to a simmer over low,
skimming and discarding fat as it develops on the surface. Whisk together
cornstarch and 3 tablespoons of simmering beef juices in a small bowl until
smooth. Whisk cornstarch mixture into juices in saucepan, and continue
simmering, whisking constantly, until sauce is thickened and coats back of a
spoon, about 5 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat, and cover to keep warm.
Slice rib-eye roast against the grain into 1- to 1
1/2-inch-thick slices, and arrange on plates. Top each slice evenly with gravy
mixture, 1/2-inch-thick rounds of chilled reserved compound butter, thinly
sliced chives, flaky sea salt, and 2 or 3 grinds of pepper; serve immediately.
