Kosher Salt Encrusted Prime Rib Roast

By bridenk

Ingredients

• 2 cups coarse kosher salt
• 4 lbs prime rib roast
• 1 Tbs ground black pepper
• 1 Tbs seasoning salt

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 210 degrees F (100 degrees C).

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.

Cover and roast in preheated oven for 4 to 5 hours, or until the internal temperature of the meat reaches 140 degrees F (63 degrees C).

Uncover and increase temperatire to 350 degrees. Let roast brown and reach internal temperatre of 145 degrees.

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.)
