Ribeye Roast with Cranberry Balsamic Glaze is a festive and flavorful main dish featuring a juicy, oven-roasted ribeye paired with a tangy-sweet glaze made from fresh cranberries and balsamic vinegar. Perfect for holiday dinners or special occasions.

Ingredients

  • 1 boneless ribeye roast (3–5 pounds)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary or thyme, chopped (optional)
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
  • 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar or honey
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)
  • 1/4 cup water
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Remove the ribeye roast from the fridge and let it come to room temperature for about 1 hour.
  2. Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
  3. Rub the roast with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and herbs if using.
  4. Place the roast on a rack in a roasting pan and roast for 15 minutes.
  5. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F (165°C) and continue roasting until internal temperature reaches 125°F for medium-rare, about 1 to 1.5 hours.
  6. Transfer roast to a cutting board, tent loosely with foil, and let rest for 15–20 minutes.
  7. While roast cooks or rests, combine cranberries, balsamic vinegar, brown sugar or honey, garlic, Dijon mustard, and water in a saucepan.
  8. Simmer over medium heat for 10–15 minutes, until cranberries burst and sauce thickens.
  9. Season glaze with salt and pepper to taste. Blend if a smoother texture is desired.
  10. Slice roast and drizzle with warm glaze or serve glaze on the side.

Notes

  • Add red wine or orange juice to the glaze for extra flavor.
  • Use red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
  • Frozen cranberries can be used straight from the freezer.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
  • Reheat gently in the oven or on the stove.
