Description

Sous Vide Prime Rib makes the perfect holiday dinner recipe. This recipe for Sous Vide Prime Rib is melt-in-your mouth tender and juicy and a great stress-free way to make a prime rib roast. Slather it with our Prime Rib Rub and serve it with Prime Rib Au Jus.

Ingredients
    Prime Rib
  • 6 pounds prime rib roast (boneless or bone-in)
  • lots of kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • Prime Rib Rub
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons thyme, dried
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons rosemary, dried
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons onion powder
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons garlic powder
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons ground black pepper
Instructions
    SOUS VIDE THE PRIME RIB ROAST:
  1. 1
    Liberally season the prime rib roast with kosher salt and place in the refrigerator for at least one hour, up to 12 hours.
    The Prime Rib Rub contains equal parts Kosher Salt, however the roast will soak up some of the salt when cooking in the water bath. To control the amount of salt, we highly recommend using just the salt-less spices when searing and salting, to taste, after serving. The au jus will also have a healthy amount of salt.
  2. 2

    Set the sous vide machine to 132 degrees F for medium rare.

    The 8-10 hour time range means you can set the timer for a minimum of 8 hours, up to 10 hours, and get the same results. It's a nice "cushion" to ensure the roast is ready when you're ready to eat.
  3. 3
    Place the prime rib roast in a heavy-duty vacuum bag and vacuum seal.
    A boneless prime rib roast is easier to vacuum seal, however you can use a bone-in roast, if you wish. You'll just need to make sure you double bag to ensure the bones won't puncture the bag.
  4. 4

    Transfer the sealed bag to the water bath and set the timer to 8-12 hours. (See Note on Step #2)

    5. MAKE THE AU JUS:
  5. 5

    Right before removing the prime rib roast from the water bath, make the Prime Rib Au Jus. Keep warm on the stove until ready to serve.

    Two Prime Rib Au Jus Recipes linked above: Classic Prime Rib Au Jus and Red Wine Au Jus. You can replace the beef broth in either version with the liquid you reserved from the bag.
    6. SEAR THE PRIME RIB ROAST:
  6. 6
    Whisk together the ingredients for the Prime Rib Rub and set aside.
  7. 7
    Pre-heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until it's scorching hot (it will start to smoke a little).
  8. 8
    While the cast iron skillet is pre-heating, remove the prime rib from the bag and reserve the cooking liquid to use in the Au Jus in place of the beef broth, if desired. Pat the prime rib dry with a paper towel.
  9. 9

    Cover the roast with 1-2 tablespoons oil followed by the prime rib rub.

  10. 10
    Sear the roast for 1 minute per side, including the ends (for a total of six sides).
  11. 11
    Let rest for 15 minutes. Carve into 1/2"-1" slices (Personal preference) and serve with the au jus.
