Steps:

• Place a heat-resistant pad underneath a large pot filled with water. Attach a sous vide precision cooker to the pot and set temperature to 155 degrees F (68°C).
• Combine brown sugar, kosher salt, smoked paprika, cumin, and cayenne in a small bowl; mix well. Remove rough membranes from the ribs and cut each rack into thirds. Rub spice mixture onto the fleshy side of the meat. Place each rack into a plastic bag and seal.
• Once water temperature has reached 155 degrees F (68°C), submerge both bags in the water. Open the seal of the bags and allow any air to escape. Reseal. Make sure bags are completely submerged. Cover pot with aluminum foil so steam does not escape.
• Set the timer for 24 hours, checking water level occasionally. Add more water of the same temperature water if necessary.
• Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Remove ribs from the bags and pat dry. Place ribs on the prepared baking sheet and brush with barbecue sauce.
• Broil for 4 minutes. Remove ribs from the oven, brush with more BBQ sauce, and broil until sauce starts to caramelize, about 3 more minutes.

SOUS VIDE BARBECUE PORK RIBS RECIPE

Steps:

• To Finish Dry-Style on the Grill: Remove ribs from vacuum bags and carefully pat dry with paper towels. Rub with remaining 3 tablespoons spice rub. Light one-half chimney full of charcoal (about 2 1/2 quarts of coals). When all the charcoal is lit and covered with gray ash, pour out and arrange the coals on one side of the charcoal grate. Set cooking grate in place, cover grill, and allow to preheat for 5 minutes. Alternatively, set half the burners on a gas grill to the medium heat setting, cover, and preheat for 10 minutes. Scrape the grill grates clean with a grill scraper, then oil the grates by holding an oil-dipped kitchen towel or paper towels in a set of tongs and rubbing them over the grates 5 to 6 times. Place the ribs, meat-side up, over the cooler side of the grill. Cover and cook until ribs are heated through and dry to the touch, about 15 minutes. Transfer ribs to hotter side of grill and continue grilling, turning occasionally, until a crusty bark has formed, about 10 minutes. Serve.
• To Finish Sauced Ribs in the Oven: Remove ribs from vacuum bags and carefully pat dry with paper towels. Adjust oven racks to upper and lower-middle positions and preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with aluminum foil and place a wire rack in each. Divide ribs evenly on racks, meat-side up. Transfer ribs to oven and cook until surface is sizzling and ribs are heated through, about 20 minutes. Brush ribs with sauce and return to oven for 10 minutes. Remove from oven, brush with another layer of sauce, and return to oven until sauce is dried and sticky, about 10 minutes longer. Remove ribs from oven, paint with one last layer of sauce, and serve, passing extra sauce at the table.

FABULOUS TENDER PORK RIBS - SOUS VIDE STYLE

Steps:

• Preheat the SousVide Supreme to 138F/57°C You can cheat an put them in early because the temperature will drop when you add the ribs. It will come back up to temperature in no time.
• Make Recipe#390416 combining all the dry spice ingredients listed above. You won't use it all. I always quadruple the recipe and store the extra for future use.
• Cut the ribs into sections. I cut into 3-4 bones per section.
• Season both sides of the ribs with the rub mixture. No need to season too heavily as the flavors will be enhanced with this method of cooking. Just a light to moderate dusting. Using your hands, pat the spices into the ribs.
• Put each section into individual vacuum seal bag, removing all the air and sealing. Alternately, arrange the rib sections side by side in the bags and seal DO NOT stack the rib sections in the bag.
• Note: All the air must be removed from the bags to insure the packages are submerged for proper cooking.
• Place bags in the preheated water bath. If you have a rack for your Sous Vide, all the better, if not, do not let them nest. Make sure water passes in between each bag.
• Submerge the pouch(es) in the water oven and cook for a minimum of 24 hours up to a maximum of 48 hours. They will not over cook after 24 hours, really!
• At this point, they are fully cooked. You may cool and refrigerate for several days) or freeze the ribs for future consumption. If you refrigerate them bring to room temperature before grilling. Please note, warming on the grill will take longer because they are hot from the water bath. Note: I have tried cooking & refrigerating for later use.
• Fire up the grill!
• Remove from the pouches from the water bath.
• From this point, finish off the ribs as you normally do.
• Sear the surface of the ribs on the grill, or under the broiler. About 1-2 minutes per side.
• Slather on your favorite BBQ sauce, grilling to achieve caramelization of the sauce.
• Serve & enjoy!
