Ingredients
  

  • 3.5 lb Rib Roast Choice or Prime
  • 4 oz butter salted
  • 6 cloves garlic
  • 1 tablespoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Generously salt the rib roast and place it on a plate and then in the fridge overnight.
  • Mince garlic and soften butter. Combine garlic, butter, and black pepper.
  • Pat rib roast dry with paper towels to remove moisture that came out from salting. Add additional salt if desired.
  • Place roast in zip top bag or vacuum seal bag and remove air. Place in a 132 degree F sous vide water bath for 6-8 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 500 degrees F and preheat cast iron skillet inside it. Remove roast from sous vide. Pat dry with paper towels and cover generously with butter mixture.
  • Carefully place the roast in the standing position in the cast iron and sear in the 500 degree oven for 10 minutes.
  • Transfer rib roast to a cutting board and tent with aluminum foil to rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. Enjoy!

Notes

132 is medium-rare, for medium set your circulator to 135. For food safety reasons it is not recommended to set your circulator below 130 for longer cooking foods like a roast.
If using the water displacement method, 2 bones will be the largest roast that fits in a one gallon ziplock. Be sure to get a roast you can fit in the container you are using.
Nutrition calculation includes the full stick of butter, though some of it will melt off into the pan while searing.
