Sous Vide Short Ribs

Came across some Prime Short Ribs at Costco. They usually sell them cut into individual ribs. On Fridays they have a separate display with a butcher setup and all he has is prime cuts. Noticed two cryo packs stuck in the very back of his case and I bought one.

Decided to try a sous vide on one slab. I know 24 hours is a minimum time but decided to try it anyway. Salt, pepper, garlic, and into a vac seal.


Ended up doing a Sous vide for 23.5 hours. Pulled it out, saved the juices for a sauce and then put it on the grill at 450° F for 3-4 minutes per side for a little bark on it. Put the juices on the stove with a little salt, sugar, worcestershire, bring to a boil, then off.



They came out tasting good. Used to a brisket taste during a low and slow and these were more like a New York strip. Going to try 48 hours next time to get them more tender.

    Looks good. What sous vide temp did you use?

    I haven't done these yet, but am planning on doing 144F for 48 hours soon.

    The chuck ribs are a lot tougher than the plate, so yeah, I can see going 48 hours.  I learned this when I did chucks and plate together.  Much more connective tissue in the chuck.

    Unless you get chuck veal ribs, they cook like plate.

    Mine will finish tonight after 48 hours. Looking forward to these. Wife kept requesting "those smoked beef ribs", hopefully this will be an approved substitute.

    Planning on searing on the egg, assuming it doesn't fall apart.

    Came out very good. Super moist and very tender. Good bite and didn't just fall apart like pot roast. I'm not sure I'd call it "bbq" but it was absolutely delicious.

    I didn’t like them much. The fat never rendered. I love my SV but not for these.
