Glad that it went as well as it could have. I'm doing my best to soak in the gravity of my religion's most important 3 days this weekend.
Kyle, we usually have a ribeye roast for New Years. We’ve got quarters, in my workshop, with a full kitchen so I don’t get in the way in the main house kitchen.
I prep the ribeye and put it on a rack in large roasting pan. Preheat the convection oven to 500 degrees. Put ribeye in oven and bake for 30 minutes then turn oven off and ever open oven door. I’ve got a remote reading thermometer with probe in the ribeye. I watch meat temperature until it’s about 150-155 degrees internal. Remove from oven and cover with HD foil.
Perfect medium rare every time.
The biggest advantage to doing this, in the other kitchen, and secret to success is NEVER opening the oven door.
Try it ... you’ll like it! If you want more well done, leave oven closed longer to perhaps 160-165 degrees internal.
Oh .... my Jack Daniels is taken, by mouth, after dinner with a good cigar.
