Ingredients
- 1 box , (3-lb.) coarse kosher salt
- 1Â 1/4 c. Water
- 4 x To 6lb well-trimmed beef ribeye roast, small end
- 1 Tbsp. Oil
- 2 tsp To 3 ts Cracked blk. pepper
Directions
- Preheat oven to 425 F. Line a shallow roasting pan with heavy-duty aluminum foil. Combine salt and water; mix well. (Mix may appear dry but don't add in more water.) In roasting pan, pat 1 1/2 c. salt mix into rectangular shape, approximately 1/2 to 1 inch larger than the size of the roast. Brush the roast with oil; press pepper proportionately into surface. Insert ovenproof meat thermometer into thickest part of roast, not resting in fat; center roast on salt layer. Starting at the base of the roast, pack remaining salt mix onto sides and top of roast to encase roast in salt.
- (Some salt may fall off, exposing small areas of the roast; this won't affect cooking.) Don't add in water or possibly cover pan. Roast approximately 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 hrs for medium rare, 1 3/4 to 2 hrs for medium doneness.
- Remove from oven when meat thermometer registers 130 F for medium-rare, 145 F for medium. Remove pan with roast to cooling rack; let stand 10 to 15 min. (Internal temperature will continue to rise.) Remove and throw away salt crust from roast, brushing away all salt. Carve roast into 1/2-inch thick slices.
- Makes 6 to 8 servings.
- Note: Salt crust should be slightlythicker at the base of the roast than at the top. For easier packing of salt onto vertical surfaces, use one hand to hold the salt crust in place while using the other hand to pack on additional salt to cover. Salt crust should be applied to roast just before roasting. A small amount of liquid may collect in the bottom of the roasting pan during cooking.
