Sous Vide Prime Rib

Sous Vide Prime Rib
Prep 20 min Cook 8 hr Serves 6 Source

Ingredients

  • 6 pound boneless prime rib roast
  • ¼ cup Prime Rib Rub
  • 4 sprigs fresh rosemary

Steps

  1. 1

    Set up the sous vide. Fill your sous vide container with water and set the immersion circulator to 129 degrees F for medium-rare (or your preferred temperature).

  2. 2

    Season the prime rib. Pat the prime rib completely dry with paper towels. Combine the seasoning ingredients and coat the entire roast generously on all sides.

  3. 3

    Vacuum seal. Place the seasoned prime rib in a vacuum-seal bag with the fresh rosemary. Vacuum seal the bag, removing as much air as possible.

  4. 4

    Sous vide the prime rib. Submerge the sealed bag in the water bath and cook for 8 hours. Track temperature with a remote probe thermometer, if desired.

  5. 5

    Sear the exterior. Remove the prime rib from the bag and pat it completely dry. Reserve any juices from the bag for making au jus if desired. (Searing options: 500 degree F grill: extra smoky charcoal flavor. Oven broiler: easiest, cleanest, nice browning on the exterior. Cast iron skillet: heaviest char and crunch on the exterior, makes your house smoky.)

  6. 6

    Rest and slice. Let the prime rib rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Slice into 1 to 1 ½-inch thick slices and serve immediately.
