First cook 11/26/18, So I am definitely a newbie. Own two Big Green Eggs but have been enticed to SV because of the ability to make inexpensive cuts tender. The first cook was the recipe for the Smoked Guinness Short Ribs

Prep Time: 00:30

Recipe Time: 24:00

Temperature : 180F / 82.2C

Ingredients

• About 2 pounds bone-in beef short ribs
• 1 thinly sliced onion
• I cup Guinness Stout
• 3 sprigs thyme
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 4 cloves garlic, crushed
• 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
• 3 teaspoons freshly ground peppercorns

Directions

1. Set your Anova Sous Vide Precision Cooker to 180ºF / 82.2ºC
2. Place the trimmed short ribs in a smoker for about 2 hours at very low temperature 160-180.  This step can be skipped and I am not that sure much flavor was added by the smoking as the marinade was exceptional Place the ingredients and the ribs into a vacuum sealed bag and SV for 24@180.  If you have smoked the ribs you can cut down this time.  I had smoked so I only did 23 hours.
3. Place the ingredients and the ribs into a vacuum sealed bag and SV for 24@180.  If you have smoked the ribs you can cut down this time.  I only cut it an hour.

1. Remove the ribs and pour liquid into a sauce pan.  Begin to reduce about half of the liquid until it is coating your spoon. Place the ribs on either a broiler set high or grill.  Sear for approx 1 to 2 minutes a side if on high heat grill.
2. Serve with the marinade as a sauce and can be used as a gravy.
3. Enjoy
