Title: 72 Hour Beef Flanken-Cut Shorties
Post by: hikerman 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!

Gene those ribs look excellent! Great job!

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