51st Wedding Anniversary Dinner (Poor Man’s Prime Rib)


A Change of Pace!

We usually have Prime Rib for our Anniversary, but I thought I’d give my Sous Vide Supreme a shot at this one, and I was tired of the Chucky in My Freezer staring at me since back in March.
So I wanted to give it at least 30 hours in my SV, and I had already started thawing it out, so instead of having to wait for it to thaw, and then 30 hours more, I decided to put it in while it was still frozen.
So I put it in @ 136° for 32 hours.
Then I pulled it out, patted it Dry, Dropped it in a Greased Pan to Sear, and I hit the edges & low spots with my Propane Torch to make it Pretty!!
Then I sliced enough up for our Dinner, and Mrs Bear got some Mashed Taters, Gravy, and some Carrots ready, and I grabbed a few slices of Pickled Beets Too, for my plate.
Then the next Morning I had some leftover pieces of Beef with my Eggs, And for the next few days I had leftover Beef for my Dinners, but I’ll show that in my next Thread, in a few days.

BTW: Our Anniversary is actually Dec. 27th, but due to so many "Get Togethers" between Dec 24th and Jan 3rd, we always move it earlier or later.

Thanks for Dropping By!!

Beautiful Bear, perfection on a plate! I've taken to dropping ribeye steaks into the sous vide pot right out of the freezer every time, 4-5 hours. Like, RAY

Looks tasty! Also big like for the beets and carrots! Love them.
 
Happy Anniversary John. We're on our 34th. When I read you title I said to myself: No he wouldn't do Spam for his anniversary -- would he. Happy to see you did a good looking chuckie. I bet mamma bear was happy with that feast.

Point for sure
