Pork Ribeye Roast Recipe
Equipment
- Oven
- Tongs
- Frying Pan
- Small Bowl
Ingredients
- 1 ½ tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 lbs Pork ribeye roast typically 2-3 pounds
- 1 tsp Salt or 1 ½ teaspoons Kosher salt
- ½ tsp freshly ground Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 1 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C) and heat a large oven-safe skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat with 1 ½ tablespoons of olive oil.
- Season the 2 lb pork ribeye roast with 1 teaspoon of salt and ½ teaspoon of black pepper. Sear the roast on all sides in the hot skillet until lightly golden, flipping with tongs, about 5-6 minutes in total.
- While the roast is searing, mix 2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons of honey, and 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in a small bowl until well combined.
- Once seared, brush about half of the honey Dijon mixture all over the roast. Place the skillet with the roast into the preheated oven on the center rack. Roast for approximately 20 minutes.
- Remove the roast from the oven and brush the remaining honey Dijon mixture over it. Return to the oven and continue cooking for another 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
- Transfer the roast to a cutting board or serving platter, loosely cover with aluminum foil, and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure your pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for optimal doneness. Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the roast to get an accurate reading.
- After roasting, let the pork rest tented loosely with foil for at least 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, ensuring it stays moist and flavorful when you slice into it.

How Long Should I Cook a Pork Ribeye Roast in the Oven?
Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C). First, sear the seasoned pork ribeye roast in a hot skillet for about 5-6 minutes until it’s lightly golden on all sides. Then, transfer it to the oven and roast for approximately 20 minutes. After that, brush on the honey Dijon glaze and continue roasting for another 15-20 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
How Do I Know When the Pork Ribeye Roast is Done?
The best way to check if the pork ribeye roast is cooked perfectly is by using a meat thermometer. Insert it into the thickest part of the roast. When the thermometer reads 145°F (63°C), your roast is done. This ensures it’s safe to eat and retains its juicy tenderness.
Can I Prepare the Honey Dijon Glaze Ahead of Time?
Yes, you can! Mix together the Dijon mustard, honey, and apple cider vinegar in a small bowl. This sweet and tangy glaze can be made a day ahead and stored in the refrigerator. Just remember to bring it to room temperature before using it to glaze the pork ribeye roast.
