Salt-Encrusted Prime Rib

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 450u00b0. Line a shallow roasting pan with heavy-duty foil. Place 3 cups salt on foil, spreading evenly to form a 1/2-in. layer.

2. 2

   Brush roast with Worcestershire sauce; sprinkle with pepper and garlic powder. Place roast on layer of salt, fat side up. In a small bowl, mix water and remaining salt (mixture should be just moist enough to pack). Beginning at the base of the roast, press salt mixture onto the sides and top of roast.

3. 3

   Roast 15 minutes. Reduce oven setting to 325u00b0. Roast 2 to 2-1/4 hours or until a thermometer reaches 130u00b0 for medium-rare; 145u00b0 for medium. (Temperature of roast will continue to rise about 15u00b0 upon standing.) Let stand 20 minutes.

4. 4

   Remove and discard salt crust; brush away any remaining salt. Carve roast into slices.
