SALT-ENCRUSTED PRIME RIB

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°. Line a shallow roasting pan with heavy-duty foil. Place 3 cups salt on foil, spreading evenly to form a 1/2-in. layer. , Brush roast with Worcestershire sauce; sprinkle with pepper and garlic powder. Place roast on layer of salt, fat side up. In a small bowl, mix water and remaining salt (mixture should be just moist enough to pack). Beginning at the base of the roast, press salt mixture onto the sides and top of roast., Roast 15 minutes. Reduce oven setting to 325°. Roast 2 to 2-1/4 hours or until a thermometer reaches 130° for medium-rare; 145° for medium. (Temperature of roast will continue to rise about 15° upon standing.) Let stand 20 minutes., Remove and discard salt crust; brush away any remaining salt. Carve roast into slices.

ROCK SALT ENCRUSTED PRIME RIB

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Rinse the roast and pat dry with paper towels. Mix the onion soup mix and pepper together in a small bowl. Rub the pepper mixture generously over all sides of the roast. Place the roast on a clean, dry baking sheet, and rest 30 to 45 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mix the rock salt, flour, rosemary together in a bowl. Gradually pour in the water and mix by hand (wear gloves if desired) to make a thick, sticky batter or paste. Add more water if necessary. Spread the salt batter into the bottom of a roasting pan to make a layer 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick., reserving 1 to 2 cups. Place the roast, bones facing down, in the middle of the batter in the pan. Pull the batter up and around the roast to completely cover the meat. Pat on extra batter if necessary. Insert meat thermometer into the roast with its gauge positioned to be visible from the front of the oven (or use a regular meat thermometer).
• Cook in preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove, and use remaining salt batter to patch any holes or breaks in the coating.
• Meanwhile, prepare au jus according to package directions leaving out 1/4 cup water to boost flavor, and keep warm.
• Return roast to the oven, and cook until internal temperature reaches 130 degrees F (54 degrees C), or to desired doneness. Remove roast, and rest 20 to 30 minutes until internal temperature reaches 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). Chip off the crust and discard and then slice to serve. Serve garnished with horseradish and au jus.

ROCK SALT ROAST PRIME RIB

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a roasting pan with aluminum foil.
• Liberally coat the roast with mustard, so that it is entirely covered. Put a thick layer of rock salt on the foil in the roasting pan, about the size of the bottom of the roast. Set the bottom of the roast on the salt, and press down to embed the salt into the mustard. Completely cover the remainder of the roast with rock salt, pressing it into the mustard. (A lot of salt will fall off into the pan, but that doesn't hurt anything).
• Bake uncovered, in preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F (65 degrees C). Let stand 15 minutes. The roast will be encased in a 'shell'. Hit the shell sharply with the back of a knife, and it will crack open and start to fall off. Remove the shell, and place the roast on a cutting board. Slice, and serve with horseradish sauce.
• Horseradish sauce: In a small bowl, whip the cream until stiff peaks form. Fold in horseradish to taste.

SALT-ENCRUSTED PRIME RIB RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
• Line a roasting pan with heavy foil.
• Place the 3 cups of Kosher salt on the foil. (That will equal half the box.) Form a 1/2 inch layer of salt spread evenly on the foil.
• Brush prime rib with Worcestershire sauce. Sprinkle on top the cracked pepper and garlic powder.
• Place roast, fat side up, on the layer of salt.
• In a separate bowl, mix water and remaining salt. The mixture should be moist enough to pack. Beginning at the base of the prime rib, firmly press the salt mixture onto the sides and then at the top of the roast.
• Cook the prime rib for 15 minutes at the 450 degree temperature.
• Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees. Cook prime rib for 2 - 2 /14 hours or until your therometer reads 130 degrees for medium-rare or 145 degrees for medium.
• Take prime rib out of the oven. Let stand for 20 minutes (this step is super important!)
• Remove salt crust and discard. Brush away remaining salt.
• Carve the prime rib into slices. Serve hot.

ROCK SALT PRIME RIB

Steps:

• Get out a large aluminum throw away roasting pan (the deeper the beater) and 4 or 6 aluminum "ribbed" drip pans to make side-boards for the roasting pan, nails and a hammer.
• Preheat oven to 550 degrees.
• Mix crushed garlic, horseradish and pepper.
• Run over entire roast.
• Remove you oven rack and place on a strong table and place roaster on the rack.
• Standing drip pans on their side, line the roaster with the drip pans and pour 2 inches of roack salt in the roaster to help secure the drip pans.
• Sprinkle the two inches of rocksalt with one glass of water and pat down firmly.
• Place prime rib, fatty side up, in the center of the roaster, on top of the rock salt.
• Pour remaining rock salt on the roast making sure that all of the roast has at least one inch of rock salt covering it (you may need to use a nail or staple to join the drip pans if they appear to leak the rock salt).
• Sprinkle more water and pat down until there are NO CRACKS!
• Place the roast rack on the lowest possible setting in your oven and cook 20 minutes per pound for rare (center will be rare-rare) or 21 minutes per pound medium rare (rare with a firm center).
• Remove the roast from the oven and take outside and place on concrete (wood cannot stand the heat!) and break open with a hammer.
• Remove the roast.
• Brush clinging salt from the roast with a vegetable brush.
• Juice will be extra red and the roast will be extremely juicy!
• The rock salt will not make the meat salty, only in some instances on the outer "crispy" areas.
• Enjoy!

STANDING RIB ROAST IN ROCK SALT

Steps:

• Let beef roast set to room temp.
• Preheat oven to 500 degrees.
• With sharp steak knife puncture roast all over, placing slivered garlic in each puncture.
• Simply insert end of knife and place sliver of garlic down along blade, deep into the roast, before removing knife.
• Rub entire roast generously with worchestershire sauce.
• In roasting pan just large enough to hold roast, cover bottom with rock salt.
• Place roast on rock salt.
• Then cover roast completely with more rock salt, so that no meat is uncovered.
• Meat should not touch sides of roasting pan, but be completely encased in rock salt.
• (Note: I gently spray a slight amount of water over top of salt to enable it to"hold and set" firmly.) Place in 500 degree oven and roast for 15 minutes per pound.
• Remove meat from pan and place on cutting board, brushing off all rock salt, and cover with foil for 15-20 minutes before carving.
• Serve with favorite horseradish sauce.
• I prefer fresh ground horseradish from any supermarket deli.
• Horseradish can be made milder by mixing with mayonnaise.
