Salt-Encrusted Prime Rib Recipe

Prep Time: 15 Minutes
Bake Time: 2 1/4 Hours + Standing
Makes: 10 Servings

Ingredients:
- 1 Box (3 lbs) of Kosher Salt (About 6 Cups): Divided
- 1 Bone-in Beef Rib Roast (6 to 8 lbs)
- 3 Tbsp. of Worcestershire Sauce
- 2 Tbsp. of Cracked Black Pepper
- 2 Tsp. of Garlic Powder
- 1/2 Cup of Water

Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 450F. Line a shallow roasting pan with heavy-duty foil. Place 3 cups of salt on foil, spreading to form a 1/2 inch layer.

2. 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.

3. Roast for 15 minutes. Reduce oven setting to 325F. Roast 2 to 2 1/4 hours or until a thermometer reaches 130F for medium-rare; 145F for medium. (Temperature of roast will continue to rise about 15F upon standing). Let stand for 20 minutes.

4. Remove and discard salt crust; brush away any remaining salt. Carve roast into slices.

Bon Appetit!
