We have a 9lb. roast for Christmas. What temp are y’all cooking to? I have been reading and most are saying around 130, which seems high to me. One article said anything under 125 for a couple of hours could be dangerous. Any help would be appreciated.

For all the bullshite answers. Merry Christmas.

135 will get you all the red you want in a prime rib. The rules are a little different for SV because the edges will not be hotter than the centers.




These are two separate prime ribs that both were SV to 135. They still had “blood” when they were sliced. They were very juicy, very tender, very pleasing to the eye, and they tasted delicious.

A blogger I like recently wrote up some notes on sous vide rib roasts.

He cooks 6 to 10 hours at 133°F for what he calls medium-rare plus. Adjust down a bit if you want it pinker.

Kenji at Serious Eats is usually a big sous vide fan, but he says he "a lot of the deep, roasted flavor notes that you get from meat roasted in the open air are completely absent." For meat temps when roasting, he gives this guide:

120-125°F for rare, 130°F for medium-rare, or 135°F for medium to medium-well.

Follow Jibbajabba's advice. I've never cooked a rib roast sous vide but, I sous vide ribeyes to 135°F mainly to make the fat palatable. Personally, I would reverse sear that thing.

My father is cooking it and I thought Sous vide would be fool proof for him. If he does a reverse sear how long will it take to get to 135 assuming cooking at 225?

Pork tenderloin. A couple of hours at 135 pat it dry and then give it a sear and a quick butter and herb baste. A very hot pan, and not too long because you don't want to cook the inside.

Any kind of pork shines. Chops, tenderloins are great. Sear in some butter after.

I also love chicken. Do thick chicken breasts at 140-150...you’ll have to experiment to see what texture you like. I love boneless chicken thighs at 160. The fat mostly melts off and leaves very moist chicken. I don’t find searing breasts or thighs really adds much. You may feel differently.

Fish is not my favorite. Due to the low done temps (most around 120) and smaller filets they seem to get cold quick. I do like thicker cutslike swordfish sous vide. Or a thicker salmon. A nice sear in butter finishes great and keeps the heat.

I didn’t ask for this. Someone gave it to me for Christmas. If I use it, I’ll update this thread. But for now...

I’ve seen your roast a few times and the damn herbs make me cringe every time. A mouthful of dried herbs would ruin it for me.

It really isn’t that noticeable. I thought the same thing when I saw the chefsteps video but I did it anyway and you really don’t get that “dried hay” feel in your mouth.

It didn’t happen. My dad said, “I can cook it on the pit, just let me use your thermometers.” I called at 11:00 and asked him what the temp was and he said, “it has been pretty good at 230.” I said, “ok what about the meat.” His answer was “well, I haven’t put that thermometer in yet.” Once he did it read 167. So, we had an over cooked piece of meat.

Broccoli and cheese casserole was good though.
