About this recipe

Sous vide is a modern technique for slowly cooking vacuum-sealed food. One of the benefits of cooking a rib roast sous vide is achieving precision medium rare doneness. By finishing the roast in an oven, you'll also get a perfect crust! Note: You will need an immersion circulator for this technique. A vacuum sealer is ideal, but you could just use a 2 gallon, heavy-duty, zip-top bag for the roast. Be sure to get as much air out as you can and keep it submerged.

    Season ribeye roast evenly with salt and pepper, making sure to fully coat roast in seasoning.

    Set up immersion circulator and preheat water to 131° F. (You will need a container that can hold at least 3 gallons of water and account for water displacement when adding roast).
