Bacon Wrapped Rib Eye Roast

The crunchiness of the bacon, mixed with the juices and the flavor of the meat, tastes AMAZING! Seriously, this is such a delicious tasting roast that will surely please and is perfect for Christmas Dinner.

I have to share a story with you all and it’s about the wonderful butcher at our local grocery store. I was in the soda aisle and a man asked if I was finding everything okay. First off, I was totally surprised because nowadays, no one just comes up and asks if we need help or are finding everything okay. I said “yes” and he went about his business. When I arrived to the meat department, there was that nice man behind the counter. Another young man was helping me and I picked out my roast, he weighed it and wrapped it up.

Aaron, the nice man, asked if I wanted him to cut the bones off and wrap it like he does his rib eye every year. I said, “sure” and then Aaron unwrapped the roast, cut the bones off, seasoned the whole roast, tied the bones back on, and then proceeded to make the bacon blanket. What an amazing employee! He didn’t have to go the extra mile but he did. He totally provided excellent customer service probably without even realizing it because that’s how he is everyday. I did call the store’s headquarters and let them know just how wonderful this employee was. The nice lady told me that this employee will be recognized for his excellent customer service. It surely pays to provide excellent customer service.

How To Make A Bacon Blanket

  • Lay about 4 slices of bacon across the top of the roast, then add the same number of slices going the opposite direction.
  • Weave each slice of bacon like the photo above.
  • Weave in additional slices to completely cover the top and sides leaving the outer edges uncovered.
  • Sprinkle seasoning on top of bacon as well as over the whole roast.
  • The bacon helps hold in the seasoning during cooking.
