Rock Salt Prime Rib Roast Recipe

Rock Salt Prime Rib Directions

Preheat your oven for the prime rib roast.

Open the rock salt and lay plenty of salt onto the bottom of pan.
Place prime rib meat, rib side down on top of the rock salt.
The ribs take the place of roasting rack.
Rub the minced garlic on the prime rib meat.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Place a meat thermometer into the middle.
Bake your rock salt prime rib roast for the allotted time or until meat thermometer reaches 130°.
Remove prime rib from the oven, cover and let set for 20 to 30 minutes or until temperatures reach desired doneness per recipe note below. Discard the rock salt.
Crack and scrape any rock salt off of roast before you slice it.
Using a sharp carving knife, slice prime rib roast meat across the grain for serving.

Recipe Note: In my opinion, the best way to pick a great prime rib is go to the meat counter and tell the butcher how big of a roast that you want.
You should plan on 1 pound of bone in prime rib per person.
Tell the butcher that you want your prime rib roast with the bone in tact.
Then smile nicely and ask him to pick you one just like he would pick for himself or herself.
Then my friend, you will have a great melt in your mouth prime rib.
Take prime rib roast out when meat thermometer inserted to the middle reaches 130° for rare, 140° for medium or 150° for well done. I always go for 140°, then cut the ends for the folks who like their meat well done.
Serve rock salt prime ribs along with your favorite side dish.

Recipe Serves: 6 to 8
