Ingredients:  
20 pounds standing rib roast
2 (1 oz) packages dry onion soup mix
2 T. ground pepper
8 c. rock salt
8 c. all purpose flour
2 T crushed dried rosemary
2 c. water
1 (4 oz) jar prepared horseradish
3 (1 oz) pkgs aujus gravy mix
Directions:
Directions:
Preheat oven to 450º. Rinse the roast and pat dry with paper towel. Mix the onion soup mix and pepper together and rub mixture on all sides of the roast. Place the roast on a clean, dry baking sheet, and rest 30-45 min.
Meanwhile, mix the rock salt, flour, rosemary together in a bowl. Gradually pour in the water and mix by hand to make thick,sticky batter. Add more water if necessary. Spread the salt batter into the bottom of a roasting pan to make a layer 1/2 inch thick, reserving 1-2 cups. Place the roast, bones facing down, in the middle of the batter in the pan. Pull the batter up around the roast to completely cover the meat. Pat on extra batter, if necessary. Insert meat thermometer into the roast with its gauge positioned to be visible from the front of the oven.
Cook in oven for 15-20 min. Remove and use remaining salt batter to patch any holes or breaks in the coating.
Meanwhile, prepare aujus according to package directions leaving out 1/4 cup water to boost flavor, and keep warm.
Return roast to oven, and cook until internal temperature reaches 130 degrees, or to desired doneness. Remove roast, and rest 20-30 min until internal temperature reaches 140 degrees. Chip off the crust and discard and then slice and serve. Serve with horseradish and aujus.
