72 Hour Beef Flanken-Cut Shorties
« Reply #-1 on: January 01, 2015, 07:40:20 PM »
The shorties were seasoned with sea salt and fresh ground pepper, vac packed and thrown in the hot tub at 132F for 72 hours. That is a long wait! When done, refrigerated for a couple hours. When cool,  dried, dusted with a bit of Fine Swine and Bovine,  and a little hickory-smoked sea salt. Seared on high heat and served with hopping John,  and a romaine salad with blue cheese,  pear, and walnuts.  These ribs were so tender and good....wow! If I only cooked beef shorties in my sous vide device it would be worth the price X ten!  ;)
This is the start of a good year, I can feel it!
Hope everyone has a great year ahead!

Sparky they were cooked @ 132F, so to break down the connective tissue and render them fork-tender they needed that long of a swim. Less time would have them tasty but not as tender. By far the best shorties I've ever eaten!

I have made SV short ribs several times. I have found that right around 50 hours seems to give me the texture and flavor that I like.

Gene those ribs look excellent! Great job!

Here are the ones I did for 72 hours...

All this talk about SV shorties.  I just happen to have some vacuum sealed in the freezer ready to go for a long swim.  I will have to wait until after my wife's upcoming surgery, however.
