Prime Rib Roast, Kosher Salt-Encrusted

By McLean

Ingredients

• 2 cups Kosher salt
• 4 lb. prime rib roast
• 1 tablespoon ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon seasoning salt

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 210 degrees. Cover the bottom of a roasting pan with a layer of kosher salt. Place roast, bone side down, on the salt. Season the meat with pepper and seasoning salt, then cover completely with kosher salt.

Roast in preheated oven for 4 to 5 hours, or until the internal temperature of the meat reaches l145 degrees. REmove from oven and let rest for 30 minutes. This sets the juices and makes the roast easier to carve. Be sure to remove all the salt from the roast before serving.
