Hey all, I know everyone has there methods but I want to get thoughts on pre searing or reverse searing when cooking prime rib sous vide.
I plan to sous vide two roasts for a large party and have seen both pre searing and reverse searing.
What's are your thoughts? I plan to rub with crushed garlic, salt, pepper, fresh thyme and fresh Rosemary then into the bath.

i have limited sous vide experience (owned one for 2 years and never used it) but my FIL uses his alot and i would think you would want to sear after for the crust and the appearance, most of the stuff i have seen from him looks rough out of the bath.

I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

You can do both a pre and post sear. The reason is flavour. The pre sear, not too much required with salt only, then add the herbs rub it and into the Trés Booblay. Give it a light dry and sear to finish.Delta B.C. - Whiskey and steak, because no good story ever started with someone having a salad!

Sorry - didn’t mention, the egg has the day off. Both pre and post sear can be done with CI, much easier to control the sear.Delta B.C. - Whiskey and steak, because no good story ever started with someone having a salad!

Sounds good in in my head at least. Only way to know is by doing a side by side comparison.#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX. -

What temp are you planning to use for the sous vide? What I've read is, if you're going to go real low/long in what would otherwise be considered the "danger zone", sear first to kill any microbes on the meat's surface.

I like the post sear idea just for the pure spectical for guests to enjoy. If you're busy with that, you won't be folding napkins and having to partake in all the pleasantries. You will be out back sweating (shirt off of course) fighting the fire and bringing the meal home!Large, Medium, MiniMax, & 22, and 36" Blackstone
