Kosher Salt Encrusted Prime Rib Roast
Description
Its flavor-enhancing power is salt's greatest culinary asset. Try this slowly cooked (4 to 5 hours) roast and see for yourself.
Ingredients
•
2 cups coarse kosher salt
•
4 pounds prime rib roast
•
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
•
1 tablespoon seasoning salt
Directions
1
Preheat oven to 210 degrees F (100 degrees C).
2
Cover the bottom of a roasting pan with a layer of kosher salt. Place the roast, bone side down, on the salt. Season the meat with the ground black pepper and seasoning salt, then cover completely with kosher salt.
3
Roast in preheated oven for 4 to 5 hours, or until the internal temperature of the meat reaches 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
4
Remove from oven and let rest for 30 minutes. This sets the juices and makes the roast easier to carve. (Note: Be sure to remove all the salt from the roast before serving.)
