Sous Vide 6 Hour Baby Back Ribs Recipes

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 6 HOUR BABY BACK RIBS

Steps:

• On the bone side of the ribs, work a butter knife between the membrane and the bone, then grab with a paper towel and pull the membrane off of the ribs. (If it tears while you're pulling, work the knife under the remaining pieces and pull them off as well.) Sprinkle the ribs with the pepper salt (or salt and pepper). Put the thighs in a single layer in a large (gallon/3.8 liter) vacuum bag and seal. (At this point, the vacuum sealed ribs can be frozen for up to three months.) Sous vide at 167°F/75°C for 6 to 12 hours, adding an hour to the cooking time if the ribs are frozen.
• Preheat a grill on high heat for ten minutes. Cut open the vacuum bag and remove the ribs, discarding the liquid in the bag. Pat the ribs dry with paper towels, then brush with a coating of teriyaki sauce. Grill the ribs over high heat, flipping and brushing with more teriyaki sauce every two minutes, until the sauce tightens up and the ribs are browned on the edges. Serve as half slabs, or slice between each rib to serve as individual ribs.
