Ingredients 

• 2 cups kosher salt 
• ¼ cup cracked peppercorn 
• 2 TBSP fresh chopped rosemary 
• ⅓ cup water 
• 1 Prime Rib Roast from Herd 77 

Directions 

• Preheat oven to 450 and coat a 9x13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray

• Combine all dry ingredients and mix then slowly add water into the bowl until it becomes a paste consistency

• Pat your prime rib roast as dry as possible with a paper towel 

• Place prime rib bone side down in the baking dish

• Gently apply your salt mixture to the prime rib coating the entire face up side about ¼ of an inch thick 

• Place the seasoned prime rib in the oven and immediately reduce the temperature to 325 degrees

• Allow the prime rib to roast until a meat thermometer reads 135 degrees (medium rare) 
• Cook time is around 2 hours depending on the size of the prime rib roast 

• Remove the roast from the oven and allow it to rest under tin foil for 10- 15 minutes 
• Lastly, remove the hardened salt crust altogether from the roast before serving, and ENJOY 

Secret Tip: 

For extra flavor add a touch of additional seasoning to the prime rib once it's been patted dry, try a course steak seasoning like Montreal, but remember you are adding a TON of salt to this meat so be sure to avoid rubs containing high volumes of salt.
