Cranberry Balsamic Roast Beef (Print Version)

Ribeye roast infused with cranberry, balsamic, and herbs for a savory, aromatic dinner centerpiece.

# Ingredients:

01 - 1.4 to 2.3 kilograms ribeye roast
02 - 120 millilitres balsamic vinegar
03 - 2 garlic cloves, finely minced
04 - 60 millilitres cranberry sauce
05 - 24 grams brown sugar
06 - 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
07 - Salt, as needed
08 - 30 millilitres olive oil
09 - 30 millilitres vegetable oil
10 - 120 millilitres beef broth
11 - 200 grams fresh cranberries
12 - 6 sprigs fresh thyme

# Instructions:

01 - In a large resealable food storage bag, combine balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, cranberry sauce, brown sugar, red pepper flakes, salt, and olive oil. Set aside.
02 - Pierce the ribeye roast all over with a sharp knife. Place the beef into the prepared marinade bag, seal, and massage to coat thoroughly. Refrigerate overnight, turning the bag occasionally for even marination.
03 - Bring the oven to 175°C.
04 - Remove the roast from the marinade and gently pat with a paper towel to remove excess liquid.
05 - Heat vegetable oil in a large oven-safe cast iron pan over medium heat. Sear the roast on all sides until deeply golden brown.
06 - Pour the reserved marinade into the pan. Add beef broth and stir to combine. Scatter cranberries and thyme sprigs around the beef.
07 - Transfer the pan to the oven. Roast for approximately 20 minutes per 450 grams, or until the internal temperature reaches 60°C for medium rare.
08 - Remove the beef from the oven and allow to rest for 15 minutes before slicing. Serve with the pan sauce and roasted cranberries.

# Notes:

01 - Allowing the roast to rest after cooking preserves juiciness and ensures even slicing.
