Thaw roast completely and remove plastic packaging.
Heat oven to 350 F.
Prepare rub by combining salt, pepper, garlic, herbs and 1/2 cup of olive oil.
Mix 2 tablespoons of rub with remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and toss with potatoes and onions.
Liberally rub all sides of roast with remaining rub, including in between bones. Put any excess rub on top.
Place roast on foil lined sheet pan and spread potatoes and onions around sides of roast. Cook on center rack of oven for approximately 2 hours and 20 minutes to 2 hours and 35 minutes for a 9-pound roast, or until internal temperature reaches 145 F in the middle.
Let rest for 10-15 minutes before cutting away string and slicing between bones for 16 even portions. Serve with roasted red potatoes and pearl onions in natural au jus.
Heat oven to 425 F. Line shallow roasting pan with heavy-duty aluminum foil.
Combine salt crust ingredients; mix well. (Mixture may appear dry; do not add additional water.) In roasting pan, pat 1 1/2 cups salt mixture into rectangular shape about 1/2 to 1 inch larger than roast.
Brush roast with oil; press pepper evenly into surface. Insert ovenproof meat thermometer into thickest part of roast, not resting in fat; center roast on salt layer. Starting at base of roast, pack remaining salt mixture onto sides and top to encase in salt. (Some salt mixture may fall off, exposing small areas of the roast. This will not affect cooking.)
Roast in oven approximately 1 3/4 to 2 hours for medium rare or 2 1/4 to 2 1/2 hours for medium doneness. Use thermometer to verify doneness.
Transfer pan with roast to cooling rack; let stand uncovered 15 minutes. Remove and discard salt crust from roast, brushing off any remaining salt. Carve and serve.
In small saucepan, combine brown sugar, corn starch and ginger. Stir in apricot nectar.
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and boils.
Serving suggestion: Brush glaze over whole ham before roasting or over ham steaks while grilling.
Place all ingredients in small sauce pan over low heat. Simmer for 5 minutes, then serve.
How to Handle Frozen Meat
Working with frozen meat from a quality supplier not only ensures top-notch quality for your holiday dinner, it adds convenience during a busy time of year. Follow this advice from the experts at Omaha Steaks to handle your frozen meats with care.
For meats that have been vacuum sealed in plastic wrap, store in a freezer for up to three months.
For best results, thaw in the refrigerator to allow for juicier, more flavorful steaks. Always leave the wrapper on while thawing. Use these approximate guidelines for thawing in a refrigerator set to 36-40 F:
Large roast: 4 to 7 hours per pound
Small roast: 3 to 5 hours per pound
Steak (1-inch): 12 to 14 hours
Whole turkey: 1 day per 4 to 5 pounds
Poultry parts: 1 day per 1 to 2 pounds
For quick, safe thawing place meat in cold water while still in its wrapper.
