Salt-Crusted Prime Rib Roast
The rib roast is a beautifully marbled hunk of meat from the rib cage. In its most familiar form, it's sold as rib-eye steak. Here, Tim Love rubs the roast with a salty garlic paste that forms a crispy crust as it cooks. Love often enlists his kids to help: "They love to take the paste and get their hands all dirty rubbing it over the meat," he reports.To make Sticky Barbecued Beef Ribs: Reserve the rib bones in Step 3.
