Niner Game Ribeye

[sawhorseray]

About a month back Cousin Kurt said he was in for the big Thursday night game between the 49'ers and Cards so I said I'd do beef short ribs on the SQ36. Monday he calls and says he's got some Halloween obligations, games off. That gave me time to get the slab of ribs back into the freezer before any thaw had occurred. I dug around the freezer and found one of my few remaining 45 day aged ribeye steaks, into the Sous Vide pot at 131º as recommended to stay away from possible parthenogens. !31º works, that'll do me just fine! I used my standard flame-thrower charring method and enjoyed a perfect steak dinner, ribeye, buttery yam, nuked leftover zukes and onions, a little homemade slaw, nice glass of cabernet

There was no room for dessert, downed every bite.

Somebody was pretty darned thrilled to get the crust from the dry aging and a little fat

You just can't cook a steak better or more evenly than Sous Vide. Thanks for looking. RAY

Ribeye looks great Ray! I haven't done SV steaks yet but hope to try it out soon. How long did you go at 131?

That game got a little close there at the end!

Look delicious!! Sous Vide is great for having that perfect doneness all the way through for sure.

I had the ribeye thawed in a pot of water all day so I went for two hours at 131º. When I take steaks frozen straight to the Sous Vide pot I usually go four hours. It's just a great way to set it and forget it, steak comes out perfect every time, love getting the char with the torch. GO NINERS!!! RAY

I really need to get myself a Sous Vide unit! Thats one thing on my wish list! That steak looks great and nice choice of sides! I love yams/sweet potatoes.
