Title: A four day Prine Ribe project . /final photos .
Post by: africanmeat on December 11, 2014, 05:37:10 AM
My wife say i am not 100% normal to do it . hope i will prove her wrong , otherwise i will hear it forever that i Ruining a good piece of meat.
yesterday i started with trimming the fat (and a piece of thumb) of a prime rib than i rubbed it with spices (salt ,Bp ,garlic ,coriander ).
then i vacuum pack the meat  and left it in the fridge  over night .
this morning i put it in a sous vide at 140f for 72 - 76 hours .
on Sunday i am planning to smoke it at 149f for 3 hours .
if it will taste good i will post more photos and a report .
if not  my name will be in Obituaries  ;)
any advice or if it goes wrong a  sanctuary .

Ahron - I have cooked a 3 lb. boneless beef roast for 54 hours @ 135 F.    I was very good. A cheap bottom round roast that would have been tough and stringy - was like cutting room temperature butter. But - I have since cooked the same approx. same size cut of bottom round for approx. 36 hours - and it was just as tender and juicy, but maintained a little more "meaty" texture. Not at all tough or chewy,  and very juicy.

I am anxious to see how yourPrime Rib comes out. I want to do one this month myself.

Sterkte!

Looks interesting Ahron, even a little bit of thumb is not good with prime rib!!!  ;) If I were you I would make sure to taste it before your wife does so you can be prepared!  :) Don

After smoking I would put in a 500* oven for 5-10 minutes to get a nice crust on the meat.

You are one brave man.   I was told in no uncertain terms there was no way in hell I could "experiment" with a prime rib!   Yes, m'am!

Agreed...the "maillard effect" - or the caramelization of simple sugars in the surface of the meat....makes it *SO* much more appealing to the yea and the tongue! ;) ;D

Great looking roast, waiting to see the results.  ;)

I've done two standing rib roasts in the hot tub so far.  I put them in the tub at 140F for 8 hours, then in the BEESR set at 15 which is 525F for about 45~60 minutes.  The results were fantastic, Mrs. LVC loved it and I lived to see another day.

... romp temperature butter...

... more appealing to the yea and the tongue!

tee - So as I understand it, you taste the butter and if the tongue says "yea," it's at romping temperature. Good to know; thanks.

That is a great idea  . i will raise the heat of my pellet smoker to 500f for 10 minutes .
thanks .

I would let it get to 500F before I put the meat in.

Some people like to "cold smoke" the meat before vacuum bagging it. Then sous-vide, and sear/ broil for the exterior color and crest desired.

I look forward to seeing this. I just went out and bought a 2 bone, 5 lb. rib roast after looking at your post. ;D

Ahron, I really like your cooler setup for the Anova Sous-Vide. Lots of room and I bet it's very efficient.

It works great for a long cook the Anova does not works too hard .

What a great set up!  And a beautiful cut of meat.  Good luck!  I look forward to the finished product post.  And giving a sear or the smoking method at the end is a wonderful way to bring that nice browning into play.  Yum!

Post by: africanmeat on December 14, 2014, 02:40:35 PM
I made a infused olive oil with garlic a thyme to put on the meat as it goes to the smoker .
after 96 hours i put the Prim Rib in the smoker at 155f for 3 hours then took it out upet the tempe to 500f and put back for 10 minutes .
i had a problem to cut the meat it was so soft . still it was very juicy ,
we were 6 for supper and no leftovers for tomorrow . :(
will i do it again ? yes . will i change anything ? yes next time i will sous vide at 133f and i will could smoke it before the sous vide .

Ahron, if you cold smoke it first, be very careful. Keep your pit temp as low as possible (trays of ice will help) and keep the cold smoke down to around 30 minutes or less (with a cold smoke that's all you'd need anyway), and be absolutely sure you sear it off before serving.

Wow! That looks great!  I am glad the long cook time worked out.  If it being so juicy that it was hard to cook was really the only problem is say you have a definite win there.  Yum!
