Rolled Rib-Eye Roast

 

Ingredients

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Using the Cestari serrated knife, slice off top quarter of the garlic. Place garlic, cut-side up, on a piece of aluminum foil. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons oil, tightly wrap the foil, and roast until tender, about 40 minutes. Remove from oven and let stand until cool.
2. Gently squeeze garlic to push out cloves. Take the garlic and transfer to a blender. Add parsley, sage, vinegar, and remaining 2 T of oil. Process until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Arrange roast on a large bamboo cutting board, fat-side down. Using a long, sharp knife, make a shallow cut along length of roast, stopping about 1 inch from edge of the cutting board. Open roast to the side, and continue slicing until about 1 inch from next edge. Open to same side again, and continue slicing until roast is completely flat. Season roast with salt and pepper. Spread garlic-herb mixture (reserving 2 T) over meat. Roll meat up, starting from left side. Tie at 2-inch intervals with silicone ties. Rub outside with remaining garlic-herb mixture. Let roast stand 1 hour at room temperature. If preparing ahead, refrigerate meat overnight covered tightly in plastic. Bring it to room temperature before cooking.
4. Preheat oven to 400°F. Place meat on a rack in a roasting pan. Roast until meat is golden brown for 40 minutes. Reduce heat to 300°F and continue roasting until thermometer inserted reads 125°F, about 50 to 60 minutes. Let rest for a minimum of 30 minutes before slicing.
5. Serve. Use remaining garlic-herb mixture over the meat.
