ROCK SALT ROAST PRIME RIB
This is a very juicy prime rib which is easy to prepare. Surprisingly, it is not too salty and you can't taste the mustard. The horseradish sauce is great. Serve with Yorkshire pudding, or with a baked potato and a salad.

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
This is one of the absolute best ways to taste what a real prime rib tastes like, and it's NOT like plain old roast beef!! This method also makes an extremely cool presentation that fascinates people with its looks. A big plus is that this method makes it easier to remove the rock salt from your roast. The only drawback I've found is that you can't really use the drippings for au jus or gravy because it's way too salty, so make that separately. Enjoy!

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.

STANDING RIB ROAST IN ROCK SALT
This recipe is so simple and yet so delicious. My dad used to make this when I was quite young (many years ago!) It is still a family favorite with my children and grandchildren - especially for holidays. No other seasoning is needed, and yet it has a wonderful flavor. The end pieces are well done for those who like it that way, but the center is rare to medium rare, and the juices are completely sealed in, so be careful when carving as the juices DO flow. Also, a great side dish with this roast is my "Easy quick garlic/dill potatoes".

Steps:
- Let beef roast set to room temp.
- Preheat oven to 500 degrees.
- With sharp steak knife puncture roast all over, placing slivered garlic in each puncture.
- Simply insert end of knife and place sliver of garlic down along blade, deep into the roast, before removing knife.
- Rub entire roast generously with worchestershire sauce.
- In roasting pan just large enough to hold roast, cover bottom with rock salt.
- Place roast on rock salt.
- Then cover roast completely with more rock salt, so that no meat is uncovered.
- Meat should not touch sides of roasting pan, but be completely encased in rock salt.
- (Note: I gently spray a slight amount of water over top of salt to enable it to"hold and set" firmly.) Place in 500 degree oven and roast for 15 minutes per pound.
- Remove meat from pan and place on cutting board, brushing off all rock salt, and cover with foil for 15-20 minutes before carving.
- Serve with favorite horseradish sauce.
- I prefer fresh ground horseradish from any supermarket deli.
- Horseradish can be made milder by mixing with mayonnaise.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- In a small bowl combine the cayenne, rosemary, and garlic. Add enough olive oil until it becomes a loose paste. Schmear the roast with the rosemary-garlic paste and really massage it into the meat. Season generously with kosher salt.
- Put the onions, baby carrots, celery and mushrooms in the bottom of a roasting pan. Toss with a little olive oil and salt, to taste. Add the wine, 1 cup of chicken stock and the bay leaves. Put the roast on top of the veggies and put into the preheated oven until the roast is really brown and lovely, about 25 to 30 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350 degrees F for another 1 3/4 to 2 hours. Occasionally during the cooking time, spoon some of the juices over the meat. If the liquid level in the pan goes down too much, add the remaining 1 cup of stock. It also would be a great idea to rotate the roasting pan about halfway through the cooking process.
- Check the temperature of the meat by inserting an instant-read thermometer into the center of the roast. For medium-rare it should be 125 degrees F and 130 for medium. Remove the roast from the oven to a cutting board and let it rest for 15 to 20 minutes before carving.
- Taste the veggies in the pan juices and season with salt, to taste, if needed. Skim off any excess fat.
- Slice the roast and arrange on a serving platter. Serve with the veggies and the pan juices.
ROCK SALT ROAST
I'm told this is one of those recipes that looks awful but tastes great. Despite the coating, the beef will not be salty. Instead you will have a ery juicy roast, because the moisture is kept inside by the coating.

STANDING RIB ROAST
Roast beef is classic British fare. It's the centerpiece of a traditional Sunday dinner, and the hearty main course for a holiday celebration.

Steps:
- Remove any excess fat from the roast, leaving a thin layer. In a small bowl, combine dry mustard, sugar, and Dijon mustard. Brush mixture over the fat and cut surfaces of the roast. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
- Heat oven to 450 degrees. Set the roast, rib-side down, in a heavy, shallow roasting pan. (The ribs act as a natural rack.) Using a paring knife, score the fat. Season with salt and pepper. Roast for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees and continue to roast, basting every 15 minutes, until it reaches a temperature of 125 degrees for medium rare on an instant-read thermometer. Remove roast to a platter. Let rest for 15 minutes before carving.
- Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of fat from the roasting pan. Set pan on stove over medium heat. Simmer until juices begin to darken, 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in flour and cook, scraping up caramelized bits, until flour is deep golden brown, about 3 minutes. Add stock and bring to a boil, stirring until thickened. It should very lightly coat the back of a spoon. Season with salt and pepper. Strain gravy and serve with potatoes, brussels sprouts, and horseradish sauce.
STANDING RIB ROAST
Like many Nebraskans, the poet Erin Belieu's family members use any large gathering as a pretext for serving prime rib. Thanksgiving is no exception. When Ms. Belieu, a fourth-generation Nebraskan, was growing up in Omaha, her family served prime rib alongside the turkey - until they realized no one really liked the bird and dispensed with it altogether. Her grandfather was a cowboy, and the whole family was steeped in the state's ranching culture, even when they eventually moved to the city. In her house, the beef was minimally seasoned and roasted in a hot oven until the exterior was crackling and browned, the inside juicy and red. A little horseradish sauce might be served on the side, but her father always disapproved. Good beef doesn't need it. "He thought sauce was for drugstore cowboys," she said.

Steps:
- Pat meat all over with paper towels, then season it all over with salt and pepper. If you want to make a smoky garlic-herb paste, combine herbs, garlic, smoked paprika and just enough olive oil to make a paste. Rub all over meat. Let meat come to room temperature for 2 to 3 hours depending upon how cold it was to begin with.
- Heat oven to 450 degrees. Place meat bone-side down in a roasting pan or on a rimmed sheet pan. Roast for 20 minutes, then turn heat to 350 degrees and continue to roast until the meat registers 115 degrees on an instant-read thermometer for rare, 125 for medium rare (it will continue to cook after you pull it out of the oven). Timing depends on your oven, your pan and the shape of your roast, so start checking after the meat has been in the oven for an hour, but it could take 1 1/2 hours or even slightly longer.
- Let meat rest at room temperature for 20 minutes before carving.
