Prime Rib Roasted in Rock Salt

Ingredients

• 1 4-pound prime rib
• 2 cup or more as necessary food-grade rock salt
• 1 tbsp coarse ground pepper
• 1 tbsp Lawry's seasoning salt

Method

1. Cover the bottom of a roasting pan with rock salt. Place the prime rib, bone-side down, on the salt. Season the meat with pepper and seasoning salt and cover completely with more rock salt.
2. Roast in a 210-degree oven for 9 to 10 hours, until the internal temperature reaches 125 degrees. Remove from the oven and let rest for 30 minutes to set the juices and make the roast easier to carve.
3. When ready to serve, remove all salt from the rib and carve.
