Sous vide short ribs - 72 hours at 133*F

Ingredients

  • 4 lbs beef short ribs
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 cup beef broth

Instructions

  1. Start by preparing the short ribs. Season them generously with salt and black pepper on all sides.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the short ribs for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. This step is critical for enhancing the flavor of the beef.
  3. In a bowl, mix together the rosemary, garlic, and Dijon mustard. Rub this mixture all over the short ribs.
  4. Place the short ribs into a vacuum-sealable bag. Pour in the beef broth, making sure the ribs are coated well. Seal the bag using a vacuum sealer.
  5. Preheat your sous vide water bath to 133°F (56°C). Once ready, submerge the sealed bag in the water, ensuring it is fully submerged. Cook the short ribs for 72 hours.
  6. After the cooking time is up, carefully remove the bag from the water bath. Take the short ribs out of the bag, reserving the liquid for sauce.
  7. To finish the short ribs, heat a skillet over high heat. Sear the ribs for 1-2 minutes on each side until a crust forms. This step adds a wonderful texture to the dish.
  8. If desired, strain the reserved cooking liquid and reduce it in the skillet to create a delicious sauce to drizzle over the short ribs.
  9. Serve the short ribs hot, paired with your favorite sides, and enjoy the depth of flavor that comes from this slow-cooking method. Your taste buds will thank you!
