ROCK SALT ROAST 
1 (4 lb.) standing rib roast (may use prime rib), room temp.
1 tsp. Accent
2 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp. paprika
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. pepper
1 box ice cream salt
1 c. water

Preheat oven to 500 degrees. In a bowl, combine Accent, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, salt and pepper. Rub seasonings into meat. Put ice cream salt in bottom of large roast pan. Cover roast completely with ice cream salt. Lightly dampen salt with water until it moistens bottom of pan and roast. Place in oven.

For medium, cook 15 minutes, per pound. For rare, cook 12 to 13 minutes per pound.

Remove roast from oven. Salt will be extremely hard. Hammer away salt until all is away from the meat. (Best take outside to hammer.) Slice and serve.

Rock Salt Roast

 Tonia (United States) says:
For this recipe we mixed the rock salt with egg whites about six to the box of salt. This paste stuck to the meat better & made it easier to coat the meat. Then we roasted it on the grill. Took alittle longer than in an oven. But still turned out great!

Absolutely the best roast I've made or tasted. I had to form a wall of aluminum foil around the roast to get the salt to pile up high enough to cover the meat. I tried the hint from another review to add egg whites to get the salt to stick but it didn't work - but also didn't hurt the recipe and may have made salt easier to break so will do again. 14 min/lb was a perfect med-rare.
