    Rosemary garlic crusted rib eye roast

    It's official: the holidays are upon us which means lots of amazing food and friends and family from near and far coming together and breaking bread together. It won't be a good meal without a few good drinks to accompany your food.

    Rioja wne with garlic rosemary rib eye roast

    You know I am an avide wine drinking (and an impressive wine collection to prove it) and I've been loving the Rioja wines I recently purchased. Rioja is from North-Central Spain and much like Champagne, referes to the region from which it came. They are made primarily from the Tempranillo grape and are one of only two D.O.C regions in Spain. What makes them so great is that their flavors are amazing and versatile, plus they are very affordable which means it is easy to stock up when you are planning on hosting dinner at your house.

    Rib eye roast with mushrooms

    The Reserva Rioja wines are fruity with notes of plums and dried cherries with subtle spices. It makes it perfect for both game meats and heart beef dishes like this rosemary garlic crusted rib eye roast. The wine also has light earthy notes which are perfect with the mushrooms and glaze.

    I am seriously in love with this roast. If you follow me on Snapchat, you know how much I love garlic and this dish has plenty of it The garlic becomes caramelized and slightly crunchy and so delicious. It goes perfectly with the rosemary and beef. (and for picking out and munching on when no one is looking). The mushrooms are probably my favorite part. The sauce you make for the mushrooms is addictive! It has all the flavors from the roast, plus the earthiness of the mushrooms and is so amazing with the wine.

    Garlic and Rosemary crusted rib eye roast and mushrooms make the perfect dinner.

    For your convenience, here is a video that shows you how to make this dish!

      Hi - just some private feedback you don't have to share. Your ingredient list calls for butter, but you don't use it explicitly in the instructions. I suspected it was part of the mushroom sauté, or perhaps as a finish to the sauce. Less experienced cooks might not know.

      Also, just some gentle critique - there are a lot of spelling and grammatical errors in your post. It turned me off and I almost didn't make the recipe. I'm glad I did as it was good, but the errors make you look less authoritative as a recipe writer.
