the results

All in all I cooked the beef for 1 hour and 40 minutes, with a 10-minute warm-up right before serving. It was cooked perfectly for that moment, then started cooling down fast.

As I pondered aloud over the dinner table, it was as if I had nudged someone through a doorway but they had barely crossed it and the tip of their buttocks was still in the threshold. I needed to just kick that beef clear across the other side.

No biggie, that's what microwaves are for!

The ribeye roast dinner was supported by green bean casserole, shrimp pasta (which also needed to be heated up a bit more,) roasted potatoes with bacon, and s'mores whoopie pies. Not bad for my first Christmas dinner as captain of the kitchen.

The good thing about slightly undercooking the food is that your reheated leftovers are fantastic!
