Where can i purchase a "salt block" that restaurants use to cook a rib eye steak roast in?

Question

We have a restaurant here that the roast is placed in this round salt block and baked in the oven. It is the best tasting meat that you can place in your mouth.

Answer 1

feed&grain stores sell salt blocks for cattle & horses, maybe one would work the same to cook a roast on.
Morton makes a corn flavored 4 lb. block for deer, that would flavor a steak interestingly (2nd link)

Answer 2

Don't know about a salt block but my dad used to make a rib roast in salt. He got course Kosher salt Put a thick layer of salt on the bottom of the pan. Wet the roast and placed it in the pan. then he covered it with salt and baked it. Wonderful!
INGREDIENTS
1 (7 pound) standing rib roast
4 teaspoons fresh garlic, minced
2 tablespoons black pepper, coarse ground
3 cups coarse salt
3/4 cup water
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
Trim all but a thin layer, 1/8 inch to 1/4 inch, of fat from the roast.
Allow roast to sit at room temperature for 1 hour.
Rub garlic over entire surface of the roast
Arrange roast, fat side up, on a rack in a roasting pan.
Sprinkle pepper over top of roast.
In a bowl, stir together the salt and water until the mixture forms a stiff paste resembling wet snow.
Coat the roast completely with the mixture, patting it on about 1/4 inch thick.
Roast the beef in the middle of pre heated oven for two hours (about 22 minutes per pound), or until it registers 130 degrees F. on a meat thermometer inserted into the center of the thickest part of the roast for medium-rare meat.
Transfer the meat to a cutting board and let stand for 20 minutes.
Remove the crust and carve the meat

You can probably make a salt block by using Kosher salt and packing it together with a little water then letting it dry
