72-Hour Short Ribs Sous Vide
I finally planned far enough in advance to try some serious low and slow cooking in the Sous Vide Supreme, and short ribs were an easy choice. Pictured above are 72-hour short ribs with leek mashed potatoes. I picked up some great looking bone-in short ribs from Florence Meat Market, seasoned them with salt and pepper, sealed them up, and dropped them into a 132 degree water bath. Looking...
