Instructions

Instructions for the Sous Vide Cooking:

  1. Prepare ribs by drying them with a paper towel before dipping into the dry rub
  2. Rub each short rib with the dry rub mixture or dip each side into it, until completely covered; repeat once until all are done
  3. Cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours (optional)
  4. When ready to cook, fill the SousVide with water and preheat to 142F/61C
  5. Put the ribs into large (gallon/3.8 liter) cooking pouches and vacuum seal; place in the water oven, fully submerged
  6. Cook for 48 hours, maintaining temperature
  7. Prepare ice bath if not serving ribs immediately; submerge packages in bath when time is up to cool quickly
  8. Freeze, or refrigerate until ready to grill

Instructions for Grilling the Ribs:

  1. If ribs are chilled or frozen, thaw
  2. Remove from pouches (I don't reserve the juices)
  3. Brush or marinate ribs (for 30 minutes to one hour) with Barbecue Sauce, and sear on hot grill for about 1 minute per side, until grilled to personal preference
  4. Arrange short ribs on a platter and garnish; serve with coconut rice and a salad
