Yield: 1 8-pound roast

Ingredients

  1. 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  2. ½ cup cold water
  3. 1 (10 pound) bone-in prime rib roast
  4. 1 ½ cups coarse sea salt, or as needed
  5. ½ cup Himalayan pink salt, or as needed
  6. kosher salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Dissolve kosher salt in water and use it to wipe down the prime rib. Pour enough sea salt over a rimmed sheet pan to cover it completely; sprinkle pink salt on top. Place a roasting rack over the salt. Place prime rib on the rack and refrigerate at 34 to 38 degrees F (1 to 3 degrees C), uncovered, 30 to 40 days.
  2. Remove prime rib from the fridge. Trim off fat as needed. Transfer the rack into a roasting pan and place prime rib on top. Spray the surface with water and season generously with kosher salt. Refrigerate 24 to 48 hours to let meat absorb salt.
  3. Remove prime rib from fridge and cover loosely with aluminum foil. Let warm up slightly, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
  4. Preheat oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C). Insert a probe thermometer into the prime rib.
  5. Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Reduce temperature to 300° F (150° C). Bake for about 90 minutes, or until desired doneness is reached, 125° F (52° C) for rare, 130° F (54° C) for medium-rare, or 135° F (57° C) for medium. Let rest for 30 minutes before slicing.
  6. Make sure to use only bone-in prime rib. Optional: before trimming, cut off a slice of meat and pan-fry to desired doneness to determine how much fat you want to trim.
  7. You can attach a probe thermometer to the refrigerator to ensure the temperature is stable. A fan fridge would also help.
  8. Feel free to not insert your probe thermometer until the 300-degree bake if your thermometer can’t take the high heat.
  9. Save the rendered beef fat for this authentic

I never knew how easy it could be to make a delicious prime rib.
Jody Beck
I did not make this, but I give it a 5 star for watching John do it all. It was refreshing hear him say, unless you’ve got extra money, time and a refrigerator on hand, it’s probably not worth it… Way to go!
