Sous Vide Short Ribs with Peanut Gremolata
Ingredients
- 1 (3 bone) rack Beef short ribs
- 1/2 tsp Kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp Black pepper
- 1-2 sprigs Thyme
- 1-2 sprigs Rosemary
- 1/3 cup molasses
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 TB peanut oil
- 2 oz salted peanuts chopped
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 2 garlic cloves, finely minced
- 1.5 oz panko breadcrumbs
- 1/3 cup parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the short ribs by sprinkling a layer of Kosher salt and black pepper over the top and bottom of the rack. Insert into a sealable plastic bag (for a vacuum sealer) and place 1-2 sprigs of thyme and rosemary inside the bag with the rack. Seal the bag and allow to Sous Vide for at least 36 hours at 140 F.
- After the meat has cooked for 36 hours, remove and chill until ready to cook. Be sure to remove the bones and cut the rack into 3 (3-4 oz) sections. When you're ready to serve, sear each portion on both sides using a small amount of peanut oil in large saute pan over medium-high heat.
- For the glaze, combine molasses, red pepper flakes and peanut oil. Bring to a low simmer over medium heat in a small saute pan until sauce has thickened. Be cautious to not burn.
- For the gremolata, combine chopped peanuts, lemon zest, garlic, bread crumbs and parsley.
- For assembly: After searing, coat the short rib with a layer of the glaze and then top with peanut gremolata. Serve with polenta.
