Red Wine Barbecue Ribeye Roast is the perfect home-cooked date night meal.

To start, preheat your oven to a sizzling 500 ˚F. Pat the beef roast dry with paper towels to ensure a crispy exterior. Rub the entire surface of the roast with olive oil.

In a small bowl, combine kosher salt, black pepper, paprika and crushed rosemary. Generously rub 7 tablespoons of this salt mixture all over the surface of the roast.

Next, place the seasoned roast in a roasting pan and cook uncovered in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. This initial high-temperature roast will help create a flavorful crust.

Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, toss the onion wedges, chopped celery, carrot chunks and quartered potatoes with the remaining salt mixture.

After 15 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 350 ˚F. Remove the roast from the oven and place the seasoned vegetables around it in the roasting pan.

Return the pan to the oven and continue roasting for 2-2½ hours or until the internal temperature of the roast reaches 130 ˚F. The vegetables should be tender and caramelized.

Once the roast is done, remove it from the oven and allow it to rest for 30 minutes. This ensures juiciness and enhances the flavors.

To make the barbecue sauce, while the roast is resting, in a medium saucepan, bring the red wine to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and continue cooking until the wine is reduced by half. Whisk in the barbecue sauce and continue to cook until the sauce reaches your desired consistency.

This rosemary-infused roast with barbecue glaze is the perfect centerpiece for special occasions or a hearty dinner. The combination of savory herbs, tender meat and a flavorful glaze come to together to make delicious meal.
