Warming up leftover Prime Rib Roast?

[txflyguy]

Ok...so we smoked a prime rib roast. It turned out very good, even though I overshot my pull temp by 10 degrees. So got a medium rather than medium rare.

Lots of leftovers! How do I warm it up without making it super well done?

Or, do I just eat it cold? Sandwiches?

I find the best way to warm up without overcooking is sous vide.

You can SV it at about 130* - 135* (how long would depend on the size of the piece) and even give it a quick sear is you want to. It should be almost as good as new

Do you have a vacuum sealer? If you do then just put it in a pot of simmering water until warm. I've also reheated in a microwave with varying degrees of success.

Good ideas. I’ll give them a try. Plenty of leftovers, as it was just me and my wife.

Slice thin and plunge one or two portions in simmering beef broth. 60 second soak and place the meat on a Steak Roll. Top with Swiss or your favorite cheese and place in a 450 oven until the cheese melts and the roll crisps a bit, maybe a minute or two. Enjoy with some Horseradish and a bowl of Broth to dip...JJ

Different topic...sort of, but this was an 8 lb roast, no bone.
Put it on the smoker at 10am. Kept the temp at 225, within +/- 10. At 2pm, my Thermapen registered 133. I was shocked! So it took the temp in a different location on the roast and it was 135.

I wanted to pull it at 120-125, but totally missed it. The roast cooked much faster than I anticipated.

Just an FYI for those contemplating this.

When I estimate the cooking time of a roast, I find that the thickness of the meat is a better predictor than its weight since cooking is the time it takes for the heat to penetrate to the center of the meat. Think of it. 2 pieces with the same weight, one twice as thick as the other. The thick one will be longer to cook.

I generally pull roasts at 130-135 and the rule of thumb I use is 30 minutes per inch of thickness. This has been working out well for me.
