You hate warmed over beef like I do?

I swear all my life I have either thrown out or sliced up any cold beef for a salad or cold sandwich with taste killers like strong mustard since I HATE warmed over beef. Well - last Saturday night's 2 pound prime rib was just too much for the two of us. Since we had so much then I figured bag it back up and see if the sous vide method to reheat it might work. You have to trust me on this - that prime rib tonight was just as GREAT as it was Saturday night! Hey guys and gals - don't poo-poo the idea of expanding your horizon wth a sous vide unit. SOUS VIDE ROCKS!!!

    Sous Vide makes egging for two a lot better. It's a game changer for sure.

    @RRP, how long did it take to get back up to good warm temp?

    It's so easy to screw up reheating meat without sous vide. 
    And it does taste ick when you  screw it up. 

     Best alternative to reheating it with sous vide is
     - microwave at 20% until the surface temp gets to 125 or 130.
    Measure surface temp via laser thermometer

    Sorry man, but Micro Waved beef is at the top of my never ever do again list - but glad it works for you!

    I just winged it and went 2 hours at 130. I still had some au jus left over and bagged it as well.

    Not near as much fun as drinking a cold one and looking after it.

    It's great for re heating most meats including pulled pork as well as green lighting shrimp.

    I don't have a sous vide. I do reheat ribs, pulled pork, pulled beef in the same manner but just in a pot on the stove. I bring the temp up to just below boil and drop the bag in and turn off the stove.

    I've said it over and over. Leftovers are where sous vide shine the most right out of the box. Any user can get enough value out of a SV just on leftovers.

    We are always really happy with reheated pulled pork that comes out of the SV.  It's nearly as fresh as the stuff that is cooked that same day.
