Boro stayed with the promotion pack as they eased to victory in a comfortable second half against lowly Rotherham in which they scored twice and missed a penalty.
But they had to step up a gear after a dominant but toothless first 45 in which they bossed possession but had two good efforts cleared off the line and struggled to break down a massed defence.
Once Lee Tomlin's solo opener flew in soon after the break the outcome was never in doubt.
Patrick Bamford steered in a second to wrap it up before the striker missed a stoppage time spot-kick after an unseemly wrestle with Kike over the ball.
Boro remain fourth in the table , two points behind Championship leaders Bournemouth, who have 80 points, and a point adrift of Norwich City, who are second, and third-placed Watford.
