I have a 2.5 pound bone in rib eye going in the oven at 275 right now. About how long am I looking at to get it up to temp?

Lower the temp to 225 and go for an hour. Then sear. Will be medium rare.

Also make sure the steak is on a rack and not in direct contact with a pan.

Oven is for amateurs

Sous vide.

just put it on the rack. I didn't know about that part.

I am sure someone else will now come along and tell me that is wrong.

My Maverick thermometer would be in that biatch until it hit the desired temp.

A thermometer is the only way to tell all ovens are different and unless you can feel - I use the finger test and can tell but 2.5" is pretty thick for that route.

Flying blind isn't hard.

Especially at 225°. Lil billy is spot on.

Buy a digital thermometer- good investment.

I would say no longer than 35 minutes at 225 degrees

For a 2.5 lbs bone in ribeye? That's a big steak man.

Yes, it is huge. I have a digital thermometer in it. I was just wondering about how long it would take.
(And apparently about the need for a rack.)

I would say 225 for an hour. No way 30 minutes is enough.

A rack is a must. Otherwise the side of the steak that is in contact with whatever you have it in will cook faster than the rest of the steak giving you a half bullseye effect, which kind of defeats the purpose of a reverse sear.
