Beef Roasted in Salt Crust

Prep Time: 5 mins.


3 cups coarse salt
6 lb standing rib roast -- 3kg trimmed

1.  In a bowl stir together the salt and 3/4 cup water until the mixture forms a slightly stiff paste resembling wet snow. Arrange the rib roast, fat side up, in a roasting pan and coat it completely with the salt mixture, patting the mixture on about 1/4 inch 7mm thick.
2.  Roast the beef in the middle of a preheated oven 325°F-160°C. for 2 hours (about 22 minutes per pound), or until it registers 130°F-65°C. on a meat thermometer for medium-rare meat.
3.  Transfer the beef to a cutting board and let it stand for 15 minutes. Remove the crust with a hammer and carve the meat.
