Sous Vide Prime Ribs for Christmas Eve

demosthenes9 · December 27, 2018, 08:54:40 PM

I usually smoke these at 225ish, but was trying them Sous Vide for the first time.

The plan was for a 10.x and a 9.x lb on at 134 for 8 hours, to be followed by a short smoke and hot sear on a Weber Ranch Kettle.

After posting about this elsewhere, someone else mentioned that they didn't like the texture after an 8 hour bath, that they were going to do 6 next time. This got me freaking out. Decided to alter my plan and ended up going 7 hours on the soak. Afterwards, they went indirect on the Ranch Kettle which had been set up with charcoal and pecan and hickory chunks.

Right when it was time to leave and transport to my Aunt's, I lifted up the lid of the Ranch for a , moved each loin over the hot coals and rolled them around the flames giving them a nice hot sear.

As I had time on my hands while the PRs were swimming, I cooked a Pork Crown Roast as well (yeah, in the oven)

Not pictured is the 22lb turkey that I roasted the day before. Carved it, vac bagged it, brought it back up to temp via sous vide and plated it as well.

I'm guessing folks were at least ok with the offerings as there were only a few scraps left by the end of the night.

Anyone that wasn't happy with that offering needs to be a vegetarian, that all looks amazing

Thanks. Do have to say that it all tasted pretty good.

Prime rib looks perfect. @demosthenes9 Would you sous vide for 7 hours again, or alter the time?

7 hours was great, but I'd bump the time a half hour or hour at a time just to experiment.
