Sous vide short ribs

Options
Love this cook, and it's so easy. Used 'Modernist Cuisine at Home' guide for time/temp. 

Beef ribs, 72 hours in the SV at 144 degrees, then on the egg at 500 for a quick sear. Finished by a light drizzle of red wine glaze. Plated with kale and kabocha squash. 

May experiment with some different time/temps, but the texture was pretty spot on. They were also super juicy and moist. I'll definitely do again. Anybody have suggestions for the next time? Thanks!

    Man, they look killer.  Second shot is lovely.  Wondered what they looked like cut, thanks for the pic.

    DMW and CT suggested deboning, cubing prior to SV, and a flash fry to finish in a recent post.  Nola suggested 138 for 72 hours.  You could try that.

    That looks incredible!

    Here's something I learned that I want to pass on - nothing new really, but there can be quite a bit of difference in the same cut of meat.  Young (veal) short ribs break down fast.  Old (big) short ribs can take forever.  Just like cooking on the egg, time and temp isn't perfect.  You can pull the bag out of the bath and squeeze the meat and tell when it's done.  Leave it in the bath until it's done, you can up the temp if you want it done faster, at the expense of a little less moisture, and less pink with beef.

    Oh damn. That second pic should be framed and hung over the fireplace.

    @Focker‌ @nolaegghead‌ thanks for the tips! I've wondered about a slightly lower temp. Hadn't considered a flash fry.

    @bclarksicle 138* at 72 hours was really good. I have a batch in at 140* right now for tomorrow night. I'm really curious if I'll be able to tell the difference or not.
