Ingredients
– 4 bone-in short ribs (about 1 kg)
– kosher salt and black pepper to taste
– 3 tablespoons (45 ml) vegetable oil, divided
– 3 sprigs thyme
– 2 sprigs rosemary
– 1 shallot, chopped
– 4 garlic cloves, minced
– 1 1/2 cups (360 ml) grape juice
– 2 cups (480 ml) beef broth
Instructions
Prepare a large pot with an immersion circulator and heat the water to 175°F.
Generously season the short ribs with kosher salt and black pepper. Heat a cast iron skillet on medium-high and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Sear the short ribs on all sides until browned, then set them aside on a plate to cool.
Place the cooled short ribs, along with the thyme and rosemary sprigs, into a resealable bag. Use a vacuum sealer to remove the air and seal the bag tightly.
Submerge the sealed bag of short ribs into the water bath, cooking them for 48 hours. Refill the water as it evaporates, and place a damp kitchen towel over the top to keep the bag fully immersed.
Pour in the grape juice, bringing it to a boil, and let it reduce by half. Stir in the beef broth, allowing it to simmer for about 20 minutes or until it thickens to your liking. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
Take the short ribs out of the bag and serve them, drizzling the prepared sauce over the top before serving.
Notes
Marinate short ribs in grape juice and beef broth for richer flavor before cooking.
Thicken sauce by adding cornstarch slurry to simmering liquid.
Sear short ribs before sous vide cooking for enhanced flavor and color.
