Sous Vide Pork Back Ribs Food

SOUS VIDE BABY BACK RIBS

Steps:

• Set sous vide machine to 74C/165F.
• Remove the membrane from the backside of the rack of ribs. Do this by sliding a table knife under the membrane anywhere along the rack. Lift and loosen it with the knife until you can grab it with a paper towel. Pull it off the ribs; it should peel away in one large sheet, but if it breaks, use the knife to restart at another section.
• Lightly season the rack of ribs with salt. Put the ribs in a freezer bag, and remove the air through a vacuum sealer or the displacement method. Note: the ribs may have to be cut in half to fit in to bag. Place rack of ribs in the bath, and cook for 12 hours.
• Take ribs out of the bath and pat dry with paper towel. Combine chili powder, paprika, cumin, brown sugar, pepper, salt and cayenne pepper in a small bowl, then season generously on both sides.
• Turn grill on high. Place ribs on grill, meat side down, for 5 minutes. Flip the ribs over and coat the top with your favorite BBQ sauce. After 2-3 more minutes, take the ribs off the grill and coat with BBQ sauce again. Let rest for 5 minutes, and enjoy the most tender, flavorful ribs of your life!
• Alternative instruction - If you do not have a grill, you can also finish the ribs in the oven. Set oven to 350F, and bake for 10 minutes. Take ribs out and coat the rack with your favorite BBQ sauce. Turn on broiler and place ribs back in oven for 2-3 more minutes. Take the ribs out of the oven and coat with BBQ sauce again. Let rest for 5 minutes, and enjoy!

SOUS VIDE PORK BACK RIBS

Steps:

• Place a heat-resistant pad underneath a large pot filled with water. Attach a sous vide precision cooker to the pot and set temperature to 155 degrees F (68°C).
• Combine brown sugar, kosher salt, smoked paprika, cumin, and cayenne in a small bowl; mix well. Remove rough membranes from the ribs and cut each rack into thirds. Rub spice mixture onto the fleshy side of the meat. Place each rack into a plastic bag and seal.
• Once water temperature has reached 155 degrees F (68°C), submerge both bags in the water. Open the seal of the bags and allow any air to escape. Reseal. Make sure bags are completely submerged. Cover pot with aluminum foil so steam does not escape.
• Set the timer for 24 hours, checking water level occasionally. Add more water of the same temperature water if necessary.
• Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Remove ribs from the bags and pat dry. Place ribs on the prepared baking sheet and brush with barbecue sauce.
• Broil for 4 minutes. Remove ribs from the oven, brush with more BBQ sauce, and broil until sauce starts to caramelize, about 3 more minutes.

FABULOUS TENDER PORK RIBS - SOUS VIDE STYLE

Steps:

• Preheat the SousVide Supreme to 138F/57°C You can cheat an put them in early because the temperature will drop when you add the ribs. It will come back up to temperature in no time.
• Make Recipe#390416 combining all the dry spice ingredients listed above. You won't use it all. I always quadruple the recipe and store the extra for future use.
• Cut the ribs into sections. I cut into 3-4 bones per section.
• Season both sides of the ribs with the rub mixture. No need to season too heavily as the flavors will be enhanced with this method of cooking. Just a light to moderate dusting. Using your hands, pat the spices into the ribs.
• Put each section into individual vacuum seal bag, removing all the air and sealing. Alternately, arrange the rib sections side by side in the bags and seal DO NOT stack the rib sections in the bag.
• Note: All the air must be removed from the bags to insure the packages are submerged for proper cooking.
• Place bags in the preheated water bath. If you have a rack for your Sous Vide, all the better, if not, do not let them nest. Make sure water passes in between each bag.
• Submerge the pouch(es) in the water oven and cook for a minimum of 24 hours up to a maximum of 48 hours. They will not over cook after 24 hours, really!
• At this point, they are fully cooked. You may cool and refrigerate for several days) or freeze the ribs for future consumption. If you refrigerate them bring to room temperature before grilling. Please note, warming on the grill will take longer because they are hot from the water bath. Note: I have tried cooking & refrigerating for later use.
• Fire up the grill!
• Remove from the pouches from the water bath.
• From this point, finish off the ribs as you normally do.
• Sear the surface of the ribs on the grill, or under the broiler. About 1-2 minutes per side.
• Slather on your favorite BBQ sauce, grilling to achieve caramelization of the sauce.
• Serve & enjoy!
