Ingredients
- 3 pounds short ribs boneless
- 2 tablespoons Diamond Crystal kosher salt plus more to taste
- 3 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter cold, divided
- ¼ white onion finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon all purpose flour
- Black pepper to taste
Instructions
- 24 Hour Dry Brine: Pat short ribs dry with paper towels and season with kosher salt. Place short ribs on a baking sheet and wire rack in the refrigerator over night.
- The Next Day / Sear Short Ribs: The next day, heat a cast iron pan over medium-high heat. Add in 2 tablespoons of olive oil and give it a quick sear, for about 3-4 minutes per side, until a nice crust forms. Remove from the skillet/pan and let cool to room temperature.
- 48 Hour Cook: Set your sous vide machine to 144°F (62.2°C). Vacuum seal the short ribs (or place in a ziplock and remove all of the air from the bag using the). Drop the vacuum-sealed bag in the sous vide water bath and cook for 48 hours.
- Make the Gravy: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a heavy bottom skillet or sauce pan over medium heat. Saute the onions and garlic until softened, about 3 to 4 minutes. Sprinkle in flour and stir to combine with the onions and garlic.
- Open the vacuum bag, take out the short ribs and set them aside. Save the juices/liquid from the bag and pour it into the skillet/pan; simmer for 4-5 minutes, or until it reaches your desired thickness for the gravy. Remove skillet from the heat and stir in 2 tablespoons of butter until melted and smooth. Season to taste with kosher salt and black pepper, if needed.
- Enjoy: Finally, plate your sous vide cooked short ribs and pour the gravy on top. Serve with mashed potatoes or your favorite side dish and enjoy!
