The ribeye is generally regarded as one of the more flavoursome cuts of beef. It’s also a very tender cut, partly due to the fat marbling, and partly due to the rib muscles being worked during the animal’s life. In Australia and New Zealand, a ribeye with the bone removed is known as a ‘scotch fillet’.
An initial 20 minute searing stage crisps and browns the roast and caramelises the outside of the meat, then the temperature drops to the level you have preset for the remainder of the cooking period, producing a tender and juicy roast that is full of flavour.
