48 Hour Beef Sous Vide Short Ribs

Good lookin' cook, Rummm.

As an aside, I've had the occasional long sous vide cook smell bad (and get trashed) after opening the bag.  I'm wondering if the "sear before sealing" method might be the answer to the problem. It makes sense to me but thought I'd see what the rest of you thought.

Turtle - I cooked a 2.5 lb London Broil ( top sirloin ) for 36 hrs @ 124F. No pre-smoke - and seared it in a skillet after the 36 hr. SV and it was FANTASTIC.....

tee & Jack - Happened twice (out of maybe 15 or 20 1.5 to 3-day cooks - once almost unnoticeable & once pretty bad) and just wondered if the pre-sear might cook out whatever bacteria were apparently on the meat when I sealed it. I guess the real answer is to cook right after my Saturday night bath instead of waiting till the following Wednesday or Thursday.

I think the "pre-sear" is a fine idea. Rummm knows his stuff - and we have all learned some great tips from him! If you wanted a little post-SV sear you can make that call when you open the bag post SV...

One of the reasons I like to "pre" sear is I really don't like the color of the beef when it comes out of the bag!! I know I will hit it with the torch, sear pan or the broiler, but that gray color can be a deal killer!!
