Best Standing Rib Roast In Rock Salt Recipes

ROCK SALT ROAST PRIME RIB

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a roasting pan with aluminum foil.
• Liberally coat the roast with mustard, so that it is entirely covered. Put a thick layer of rock salt on the foil in the roasting pan, about the size of the bottom of the roast. Set the bottom of the roast on the salt, and press down to embed the salt into the mustard. Completely cover the remainder of the roast with rock salt, pressing it into the mustard. (A lot of salt will fall off into the pan, but that doesn't hurt anything).
• Bake uncovered, in preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F (65 degrees C). Let stand 15 minutes. The roast will be encased in a 'shell'. Hit the shell sharply with the back of a knife, and it will crack open and start to fall off. Remove the shell, and place the roast on a cutting board. Slice, and serve with horseradish sauce.
• Horseradish sauce: In a small bowl, whip the cream until stiff peaks form. Fold in horseradish to taste.

ROCK SALT ENCRUSTED PRIME RIB

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Rinse the roast and pat dry with paper towels. Mix the onion soup mix and pepper together in a small bowl. Rub the pepper mixture generously over all sides of the roast. Place the roast on a clean, dry baking sheet, and rest 30 to 45 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mix the rock salt, flour, rosemary together in a bowl. Gradually pour in the water and mix by hand (wear gloves if desired) to make a thick, sticky batter or paste. Add more water if necessary. Spread the salt batter into the bottom of a roasting pan to make a layer 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick., reserving 1 to 2 cups. Place the roast, bones facing down, in the middle of the batter in the pan. Pull the batter up and around the roast to completely cover the meat. Pat on extra batter if necessary. Insert meat thermometer into the roast with its gauge positioned to be visible from the front of the oven (or use a regular meat thermometer).
• Cook in preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove, and use remaining salt batter to patch any holes or breaks in the coating.
• Meanwhile, prepare au jus according to package directions leaving out 1/4 cup water to boost flavor, and keep warm.
• Return roast to the oven, and cook until internal temperature reaches 130 degrees F (54 degrees C), or to desired doneness. Remove roast, and rest 20 to 30 minutes until internal temperature reaches 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). Chip off the crust and discard and then slice to serve. Serve garnished with horseradish and au jus.

Reduce oven setting to 325°. Roast 2 to 2-1/4 hours or until a thermometer reaches 130° for medium-rare; 145° for medium. (Temperature of roast will continue to rise about 15° upon standing.) Let stand 20 minutes., Remove and discard salt crust; brush away any remaining salt. Carve roast into slices.

• Sprinkle the two inches of rocksalt with one glass of water and pat down firmly.
• Place prime rib, fatty side up, in the center of the roaster, on top of the rock salt.
• Pour remaining rock salt on the roast making sure that all of the roast has at least one inch of rock salt covering it (you may need to use a nail or staple to join the drip pans if they appear to leak the rock salt).
• Sprinkle more water and pat down until there are NO CRACKS!
• Place the roast rack on the lowest possible setting in your oven and cook 20 minutes per pound for rare (center will be rare-rare) or 21 minutes per pound medium rare (rare with a firm center).
• Remove the roast from the oven and take outside and place on concrete (wood cannot stand the heat!) and break open with a hammer.
• Remove the roast.
• Brush clinging salt from the roast with a vegetable brush.
• Juice will be extra red and the roast will be extremely juicy!
• The rock salt will not make the meat salty, only in some instances on the outer "crispy" areas.
• Enjoy!

ROSEMARY-SALTED STANDING RIB ROAST

Steps:

• Remove the beef from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before roasting. Set a roasting pan on the lowest oven rack; preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Using a paring knife, make deep slits all over the roast and between each of the ribs; insert a garlic sliver into each slit and poke it just beneath the surface. Grind 2 tablespoons salt, the peppercorns, rosemary and bay leaves in a spice grinder (or crush and finely chop with a knife). Combine with the olive oil and rub all over the roast.
• Carefully place the roast in the hot roasting pan fat-side up (bones on the bottom). Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 120 degrees F for medium rare, 1 hour 50 minutes to 2 hours. Transfer the roast to a platter or cutting board, tent loosely with foil and let rest 30 minutes before carving.

PRIME RIB OUR WAY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Rinse the roast, and pat dry with paper towels. Sprinkle black pepper and rosemary over the top and sides of the meat, and set aside.
• In a large bowl, mix the rock salt with the flour, and slowly work in 3/4 cup of cold water or as needed, about 1 tablespoon at a time, to make a sticky paste. Place a 1/2-inch thick layer of the rock salt paste into the bottom of a roasting pan. Lay the meat, ribs down, onto the paste. Lay the bacon strips over the top of the roast. Smear rock salt paste liberally all over the roast, coating the top, sides, and bottom of the meat. Reserve about 1/4 cup of the paste.
• Bake the roast in the preheated oven until seared and brown, 20 to 30 minutes. Remove the roast from the oven, and check for holes in the paste coating; repair with reserved paste. Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Return the roast to the oven, and cook until browned and an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat, not touching bone, reads 130 degrees F (54 degrees C) for medium-rare, about 1 more hour. Remove the roast, and allow to stand for about 30 minutes. Temperature will rise to 140 to 145 degrees F (60 to 65 degrees C) as it rests.
• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat, and cook and stir the mushrooms until browned and their liquid has almost evaporated, about 15 minutes. Stir in 6 cups of cold water, and whisk in the au jus gravy mix until smooth. Stir in the red wine. Bring the sauce to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer, stirring constantly, until the sauce has thickened.
• To serve, break off and discard the salt crust from the meat; slice, and serve with mushroom gravy.
