Finally! Great weather was bestowed upon us, so P3 had to make fire. I had not done ribs since last fall, I was WAY overdue! Plus. I have this new toy I've been telling you aboot, and I finally got to fire it up!
Ribs were rubbed with MH right before hitting the grates. I let them cook at 250-260... happy to say, temps were stable throughoot the whole cook. They got a dose of apple cider, worchy sauce, and EVOO mix every 45 minutes to an hour. I did foil them for a short period, slathering them with honey... maybe half an hour. They got removed from the foil and coated with me BBQ sauce. Dang they were good... Not sure if I did a good job, or I just missed them so much!
Well, we've all seen many rib and prep shots... I will not bore with that, other than these:
Rubbed and ready...
Ready to pluck from the grates:
So, on to the new toy... YAY!!!
I found some BEAUTIFUL NY strips at Costco... they became the victims. I seasoned them with sea salt, fresh ground black pepper, and some granulated garlic. Into the vac bags and sucked them down...
I preheated the water bath to 128...
Into the bath they went...
They sat in the bath aboot 1.5 hours. Perfect, although my thyme-ing was a little off as to when the ribbage would be finished. Sooo, I put them in the fridge for a short while. Once the ribs were pulled, here's what happened... the sear over the Vortex... dammit I love that thing!!
Thyme to slice n' serve... notice where all the juice is... it is still in the meat, and not on the cutting board!!! YAY!!!
Let's eat!! Served up with sauteed chipollini onions and mushrooms, and oven roasted brussel spouts. I wanted to do Hasselback potatoes with it, butt just didn't get there.
The texture was unbelievable! Cut it with a fork tender. All in all, this was one of the most exciting cooking adventures I've done. I knew nothing aboot this contraption at first, butt thanks to Cheryl, who has the exact same unit, it was a complete success!
BTW, I had leftover steak today for lunch... it was even better than yesterday. Folks, go get one of these things...
