Short ribs

Hi everyone, my first post coming over from a different site that went belly up. Hope this is the right place for this cook.
Some short ribs (one boneless and the rest bone in) about 4 hours on my smoker (around 200 degrees) after a generous dusting of rub, then placed into my sous vide for ~48 hours (at 145 degrees).
Sauced, then seared on my weber just until they picked up a good char. They tasted great - thanks for looking!

Thanks for the welcome - 48 hours worked great - I have had some chewy short ribs so wanted to make sure these were tender - heck, I have some home made pastrami coming out tonight that has been swimming for about 72 hours

I know sous vide is a thing and that I don't understand it, but those ribs look delicious!
Welcome aboard.

Pretty good write up here Sailor. I became aware of it watching some of the cooking shows. If I didn't already have so many gadgets I would probably get one.

Not sure this is the right place for Pastrami but listing here since it was in the same smoker as the short ribs (for the same amount of time) - The pastrami was left longer in the sous vide, 72 hours (same temp 145). It tastes good, it was very tender but I thought it could have been a little more juicy. It might have just been the cut of meat. Thanks for the kind welcome from everyone....

That pastrami is fabulous. One of my favorite sandwich meats and you look like you did it credit there Sir.

Thanks, outlaw. So...because the food is under vacuum, it doesn't grow bacteria? That's what would worry me.

You can read about it here - the heat is primarily what kills the bacteria - a vacuum actually can get you into trouble with some bacteria (that are anaerobic if you don't kill them before vacuum packing). I don't sous vide under 135 degrees unless I'm doing a pretty thin steak that can hit the grill in under 2 hours. At 145 degrees everything is pretty much dead after about 4 min. The salt in the rub (and the smoker) also kill off a lot of the bacteria....
