  3. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
  4. Remove the marinated ribeye roast from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
  5. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, drizzle in olive oil, and sear the ribeye for 5 minutes on each side.
  6. Transfer the seared ribeye roast to a roasting pan and roast for 15–20 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C).
  7. Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes, loosely covered with foil.
  8. Slice the roast against the grain into thick pieces and serve with seasonal vegetables or a salad.
