# Ingredients Required:

→ Meat

01 - 1.4 to 2.3 kg ribeye roast

→ Marinade

02 - 120 ml balsamic vinegar
03 - 2 garlic cloves, minced
04 - 60 ml cranberry sauce
05 - 30 g brown sugar
06 - 1 tsp red pepper flakes
07 - Salt to taste
08 - 30 ml olive oil

→ Cooking

09 - 30 ml vegetable oil
10 - 120 ml beef broth

→ Garnish

11 - 200 g fresh cranberries
12 - 6 sprigs thyme

# Guide to Cooking:

01 - Combine balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, cranberry sauce, brown sugar, red pepper flakes, salt, and olive oil in a large resealable bag. Pierce ribeye roast thoroughly with a knife, place it in the bag, seal, and massage to coat evenly. Refrigerate overnight, turning occasionally.
02 - Set oven temperature to 175°C (350°F).
03 - Remove roast from marinade and pat dry with paper towels to remove excess liquid. Heat vegetable oil over medium heat in a large cast iron pan. Sear roast until deep golden brown on all sides.
04 - Add reserved marinade and beef broth to the pan, mixing to combine. Scatter fresh cranberries and thyme sprigs around the roast. Transfer pan to the preheated oven.
05 - Roast for approximately 20 minutes per 450 g (1 lb) or until an internal thermometer reads 60°C (140°F) for medium rare.
06 - Remove pan from oven and let the roast rest for 15 minutes before carving. Serve with pan sauce and garnish.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Resting the meat after roasting allows juices to redistribute for a juicier and more flavorful result.
