For a richer flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of garlic powder or smoked paprika to the salt crust mixture. Ensure the salt crust is completely sealed to prevent the meat from becoming overly salty. Use a reliable meat thermometer for accurate temperature readings. Resting the meat is crucial for a juicy and tender result.

01 Step
Recipe View Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). (10 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View Rinse the roast and pat it dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, mix the onion soup mix and black pepper. Rub this mixture generously over all sides of the roast. Place the roast onto a clean, dry baking sheet and let it rest for 30 to 45 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate. (45 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View In a large bowl, combine the rock salt, flour, and crushed dried rosemary. Gradually add water and mix by hand (wearing gloves is recommended) until you form a thick, paste-like batter. Add more water if necessary to achieve the right consistency.
04 Step
Recipe View Spread the salt batter into the bottom of a roasting pan to create a 1/2- to 3/4-inch-thick layer. Reserve 1 to 2 cups of the batter. Place the roast, bones facing down, on top of the batter in the center of the pan. Pull the batter up and around the roast, completely covering the meat. Pat on any extra batter to ensure complete coverage. Insert an oven-safe meat thermometer into the roast, making sure the gauge is visible from the front of the oven.
05 Step
Recipe View Cook in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes to begin the crusting process. (20 minutes)
06 Step
Recipe View Remove the roast from the oven and patch any holes or breaks in the salt coating with the remaining batter to maintain a consistent seal.
07 Step
Recipe View Return the roast to the oven and continue cooking until the internal temperature reaches 130 degrees F (54 degrees C) for medium-rare, approximately 3 hours, or until desired doneness is achieved. Use the meat thermometer to accurately monitor the temperature. (3 hours)
08 Step
Recipe View Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest until the internal temperature reaches 140 degrees F (60 degrees C), about 20 to 30 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful roast. (30 minutes)
09 Step
Recipe View Carefully chip off and discard the salt crust. Slice the prime rib and serve immediately. Consider serving with a classic horseradish sauce to complement the rich flavors of the beef.

Jun 12, 2024The salt crust kept the prime rib incredibly moist. I'll definitely be making this again for special occasions.

Jan 21, 2024The only issue I had was that the drippings were too salty for gravy, as the recipe suggested. So I just made the gravy separately
