Sous Vide Smoky Prime Rib

Anova Culinary

To celebrate Amazon Prime Day we created a delicious recipe for a sous vide prime rib (see what we did there?). This smoky, BBQ-flavored beef rib tastes like it's been cooked on the grill but it's actually been cooked sous vide and just finished with a coating of smoked salt - so is super tender and a perfect medium rare from edge to edge. This recipe is ideal for people who don't have a grill or for those occasions when you don’t have the time to fire up the grill - although if you do want to finish it on the grill then by all means do, and revel in doubly smoky goodness.
