So, gather your ingredients and let’s get started!

Ingredients

For the pork ribeye:
- 1 kg pork ribeye
- 1 cup of wine (preferably white)
- 4-5 sprigs of fresh thyme
- 4-5 sprigs of fresh rosemary
- 6-8 cloves of garlic, crushed
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste

For the vegetables:
- 350 g potatoes
- 3 carrots
- 6-8 cherry tomatoes
- 1 red onion, julienned
- 1 bunch of green onions, finely chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon paprika (optional)

Step 1: Preparing the pork ribeye

1. Preparing the meat: Start by tying the pork ribeye with kitchen twine, forming an even shape. This step is essential for the meat to cook evenly and retain its juiciness. Tie the middle and end of the meat, ensuring it is tight but not squished.

2. Marinating: In a bowl, mix the wine, olive oil, crushed garlic, salt, pepper, and herbs (thyme and rosemary). This dressing will give the meat a special flavor. Rub the ribeye with this marinade, ensuring it covers everywhere.

3. Baking the meat: Preheat the oven to 180°C. Place the ribeye in a baking dish, adding the remaining marinade around it, along with half a cup of water. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and place it in the oven for 40-50 minutes. Check occasionally, being careful to baste the meat with the pan juices for a delicious crust.

Step 2: Preparing the vegetables

1. Preparing the vegetables: Meanwhile, wash and peel the potatoes, carrots, and onion. Cut the potatoes into quarters, the carrots into larger pieces (leaving a small tail for a rustic look), and halve the cherry tomatoes. Slice the red bell pepper, and julienne the red onion.

2. Seasoning: In a separate dish, add all the cut vegetables. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, pepper, and, if desired, a teaspoon of paprika for added flavor. Mix the vegetables well to evenly coat them with the seasonings.

3. Baking the vegetables: Place the dish with the vegetables in the oven, allowing them to bake for about 30 minutes. Check occasionally, especially the carrots, to ensure they are cooked well but not overcooked, to maintain a crunchy texture.

Serving

Once the ribeye and vegetables are ready, take them out of the oven. Let the meat rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This will allow the juices to redistribute, resulting in a juicier meat. Serve the ribeye alongside the roasted vegetables and, for a fresh contrast, add a mixed green salad.

Helpful tips

- Choosing the meat: When selecting the pork ribeye, opt for a piece with an even layer of fat, as this will help maintain juiciness during baking.
- Variations: You can experiment with the vegetables, adding zucchini or mushrooms, or you can replace the wine with beer for a different flavor.
- Serving: This dish pairs wonderfully with a glass of red wine or a cold blonde beer.

Nutritional benefits

Pork ribeye is an excellent source of protein, and the vegetables provide an important supply of vitamins and minerals, making this recipe a balanced choice. Additionally, baking with olive oil reduces the need for added fats, keeping the dish healthy.

Frequently asked questions

- Can I use other types of meat?: Of course! This recipe can easily be adapted for chicken or beef.
- What side dishes go well?: Besides the roasted vegetables, you can serve the ribeye with mashed potatoes or a portion of rice.
- How can I store leftovers?: Pork ribeye keeps well in the fridge in airtight containers for up to 3 days. You can reheat it in the oven or in a skillet.

In conclusion, this recipe for pork ribeye with roasted vegetables is not only simple but also offers a unique taste, making it ideal for a family dinner or a special occasion. Don’t forget to enjoy every step of the preparation and share this delight with your loved ones. Enjoy your meal!
