The most amazing prime rib I have ever had!!!! I rubbed the meat with montreal steak seasoning prior to the salt rub. It added extra flavor! Super tender, melt in your mouth, restaurant quality results! This is the only way to make prime rib!

We purchased a much bigger roast....so baker be ware, cooking a 10 lb roast took us 8 hours. On the flip side everyone was so hungry that they said it was the best prime rib they ever had. I was a little nervous about the salt crust but be assured that it will literally peel off....no worries ;) LOVED IT

are you afraid? why are you reading the reviews then? do it correct and you will not taste the salt. i am really bad about following recipes, i cant even follow my own, but i do use them for a guide and this is an awesome guide. i peal and slice about 1-2 heads (yes heads, not cloves) of garlic and insert into meat (avg of 8-10lbs roast). generously coat with approx 1-tsp each dried basil, oregano, thyme, sage and chicken bouillon. leave uncovered in frig over night. set on counter early am and rest at room temp for at least 5 hours. lightly coat in olive oil (lightly!). mix +/- one cup water per 3 lb box of "kosher" salt, to make thick paste. cover all sides, including bottom and sides. quick roast at 500 deg for about 10-15min, turn down to 210 and cook till thermometer reads 10 degrees below desired doneness, will cook while resting. IT MUST REST REST!!!! the salt will lift off like a helmet and you will not taste it. if you want gravy, make with bouillon, the drippings are not good for gravy. i have made this recipe several times, it is by far the best.

I served this roast for Easter Dinner a few months ago, and everyone LOVED it! There is no danger of over-salting because the crust comes off after cooking and the meat is amazingly tender and flavourful underneath. I bought enough to feed eight people (there were only six of us), and the entire roast was GONE...no leftovers! I definitely plan to serve this recipe again.

I'v done the roast this way for years, except I sear the roast on all sides in a large frying pan first. I also, roast at 250 degrees, and take it out, when the temp. reaches 125 deg. rest for 45 min. covered in foil. I tie the roast between the ribs, so that it doesn't come apart.

Excellent! We used a 6lb roast and baked for the full 5 hours. It came out perfect. We also moistened the salt to a moist sand consistency so it would encase the meat better.

Made this last year for Christmas Eve dinner. It was moist and melt in your mouth delicious! The salt forms a crust and can be peeled off. This was amazing!
