List of Ingredients
1 Rib roast
20 lb Rock salt
1 Water filled spray bottle Recipe
Cover bottom of roasting pan with rock salt, spray well. Place roast in pan and completely cover with rock salt. I have always put the fatty side up, to let the fat baste the meat to keep it moist. Spray well to assure that the salt stays put. Cook in 325ºF oven until internal temp hits 135ºF. Seems like it takes 3 to 4 hours for a good sized roast.
Remove the roasting pan from the oven and let it sit on the counter. The internal temp will continue to rise while you let the salt cool a bit to allow you to remove the salt without burning yourself.
When the internal temp hits 145ºF, it's time to get it out. We like medium rare at 150ºF internal. So you need to get the salt encrusted roast out of the salt and pan. Have a sturdy fork, ice pick or something of that ilk ready to chip away the salt.
* Then place pan in black plastic garbage bag (to contain the flying salt and it makes a great way to haul the 20 some odd pounds of salt off to the garbage can) and start to chop away the salt. When you are able to extricate the roast, place on a cutting board. Grab a knife or fork or something to scrape away the few pieces of rock salt remaining on the roast. Once the salt is gone, carve and serve.
