Print Recipe

Bold, juicy, and keto-approved, this coffee-crusted ribeye roast is perfect for anyone wanting to learn how to cook a prime rib roast without messing it up. Big flavor, minimal fuss, and no sugar in sight. Ideal for holidays, weekend dinners, or any time you want meat that actually tastes like something.

Ingredients

  • 1 standing ribeye roast (bone-in, 5 to 6 lbs)

  • Kosher salt

  • Black pepper

Coffee Rub:

  • 2 tbsp finely ground dark roast coffee

  • 1 tbsp smoked paprika

  • 1 tbsp garlic powder

  • 1 tbsp onion powder

  • 1 tbsp coarse black pepper

  • 1 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)

  • 1 tbsp sea salt

Instructions

  • Take roast out of the fridge 1 hour before cooking. Let it sit at room temp.

  • Preheat oven to 250°F.

  • Mix all rub ingredients in a bowl. Pat roast dry and rub generously all over.

  • Place roast bone-side down in roasting pan. Bake uncovered for 3 hours or until internal temp reaches 120°F.

  • Increase oven temp to 475°F and roast for another 10–15 minutes until the crust browns and internal temp hits 130°F.

  • Remove from oven, tent with foil, and rest 20–30 minutes before slicing.

Notes

  • Letting the roast rest is key to keeping the juices in.

  • You can also smoke it instead of roasting—set smoker to 250°F and follow the same temp steps.

  • Great with roasted Brussels sprouts, cauliflower mash, or grilled asparagus.
