Notes

  • Ensure the beef short ribs are fully immersed in the brine for optimal flavor absorption.
  • Patting the ribs dry before applying the spice rub will help it stick better to the meat.
  • After sous vide cooking, searing the ribs will create a flavorful crust, improving the overall texture.
