I'm picking up a prime rib roast on Christmas Eve and I'm looking for suggestions on how to prepare it. The meat guy at the store suggested a method where you bake it totally encased in rock salt. (He said that they use salt from the water softener when he does one in the deli dept at the store, and when done, he knocks off all the salt and puts the salt back in the softener). I'd save the salt for use on the sidewalk thumbsup01 Anyone have any success stories they'd like to share?

Thanks in advance!
