SV 27day dry aged prime rib in the making...

caliking

I've had two  3-bone prime ribs dry aging for some time now.plan was to pull one at about 3 weeks and see what it was about. Ok I'm a little past that target, but what the heck. 

Plan is to SV at 132 for about 6hrs tomorrow then sear it. Lovingly massaged with EEVO , rubbed with DP Raising the Steaks, and bagged. let's see what happens.

I'll be surprised if it's any good.  You should just leave it in the fridge until my son is driving through Houston in a few days so he can take it off your hands.

Yup, certain disaster in the condom . That should be great!

Focker

Awesome.
Standing by cali, looking forward to your results, and thoughts.

This is destined to be tragic. The evidence will likely be long gone by the time he rolls through. But let me know if he needs a meal or a bed for the night.

Of course, he can stay longer... if he brings beer.

This is very much an experiment. Not entirely sure what I'm up to. But how bad could it be?

Jelous!  Can't wait to see the results.

Of course he'll have beer. He can't come home without beer for his pops.

Sounds like your day is going to be better than mine!

Please share the results.  I've really struggled with SV'd Ribeye because of the texture of the fat.  I'd love to know all the details of your successes

this is a great experiment.  I wonder how much liquid will come out in the SV and how this will affect the outside of the roast?

I hope security didn't hassle you as you smuggled it out of the office...

I hear ya. SV ribeyes have been good, but I don't think they surpass a properly grilled steak IMO. There's something about the texture of a grilled ribeye that just tastes better. Recently did a caveman style ribeye, and that's been my best one yet.

I did try a SV  wet/dry/turbo ageing (or something) with a flatiron steak a while back, but have not tried that with a ribeye. Would probably be worth a shot though.

Same here. Didn't have much of a fat cap on this baby roast, so the outside was pretty leathery. Was thinking I would have to trim it off a bit as it would be tough, but figured it might soften up in the SV. 

And no trouble from security... "its good to be the king!"

Flank looks perfect cali.

Enzynes, shmenzymes.
But the pros state nothing is happening, just taking the chill off with hot tub temps?

Cooks Illustrated said otherwise.
Thomas Keller, MC too?

I'm cornfused?

I'm with you on the SV texture vs grilled.  Had pretty good results meeting in the middle at 108 for a couple of hours, allowing for more grill time.  Haven't done dry aged, a different animal.

once again.

i have more than once advocated sous vide for everything that everyone says it does.

i said that I only hot tub maybe 45 minutes or so to take the chill out, prepatory to my sear.  i don't go long enough with it to get any of the enzyme boost that cooks' illustrated advocated way back when this became the new 'thing'.

i do not doubt their expertise or results.  i have mentioned the reason they do it, rather than pronounced it BS.  i have also repeatedly suggested sous vide for those who want to control temps for longer periods for the results that its fans are seeing.

hot tubbing for 45 minutes isn't "sous vide".  it's warming up a steak.



first i thought you were being funny.

then i thought you were trying to be a d!ck.

now i just think you're a fvcking idiot.

Now we're finally getting somewhere. 

So this enzyme activity in 120 deg tap water, holds until the 45 min mark, then the magic happens?  Why pull out early?

And at what time does HT become SV aka water bath, 45 min?

Re: the flank steak, I don't know if it made a difference. Never did a controlled experiment to compare. I do know that it turned out damn good though.

And... Get a room, girls. Or at least your own thread

Focker

Thx cali, my apologies.

Looks good @caliking!  It'll be interesting no matter what.
