Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper to create a paste.
Pat the ribeye roast dry with paper towels, then rub the herb paste evenly over the entire surface.
In a roasting pan, place the roast, fat side up, on a rack.
Roast for 15 minutes at 450°F, then reduce the heat to 325°F (163°C) and continue cooking for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare.
Before slicing, take the roast out of the oven and give it 20 minutes to rest.
