  • Total Time: 0 hours
  • Yield: Serves about 8 people 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 to 5 pounds ribeye roast
  • 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1/4 cup cranberry sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • Salt to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 2 cups cranberries
  • 6 sprigs thyme

Instructions

  1. In a large re-sealable food storage bag, combine balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, cranberry sauce, brown sugar, red pepper flakes, salt, and olive oil.
  2. Pierce the ribeye roast all over to allow marinade penetration. Place it in the bag with the marinade, seal it, massage gently, and refrigerate overnight.
  3. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  4. Remove the roast from the marinade and wipe off excess marinade with paper towels.
  5. Heat vegetable oil in a cast iron pan over medium heat and sear the beef until golden brown on all sides.
  6. Pour reserved marinade into the pan with beef broth, add cranberries and thyme, then transfer everything to your preheated oven.
  7. Roast for about 20 minutes per pound or until a meat thermometer reads 140°F (60°C) for medium rare doneness.
  8. Let rest for 15 minutes before slicing and serving with pan sauce.
