Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
12 cups of coarse salt
1 cup of cracked black peppercorns
3 Tbsp of fresh rosemary and thyme (combined)
3 cups of all-purpose flour
3 egg whites, lightly whisked
3 cups of water
8-10 pound prime rib roast
Directions:
Directions:
1. In a bowl stir the salt and water together and add flour for some extra binding. Froth up the egg whites with a fork, add them and blend until mixture forms a stiff paste resembling wet snow while holding its shape when you squeeze it together.

2. Spread the mixture to form a salt bed in the bottom of a large roasting pan, and lay roast on
top-fat side down.

3. Cover it all over with herbs and cracked black peppercorns, pressing into the roast to make sure it adheres well.

4. Coat it completely with the salt dough, patting it well so that when it roasts it will solidify into a solid casing. It needs to be about 1/4 inch thick.

5. Roast the beef in the middle of a preheated 325º F. (165º C.) oven for 20 minutes per pound to get medium rare.

6. Transfer to a cutting board, let it rest for 15 minutes and then, cut the casing open and slice in between the bones for nice manly servings. You can also remove the bones and slice thinner if you want.
