Sous Vide 131°F Short Ribs with Corn, Bean and Kale Salad Recipe

Short ribs are a rich, fatty cut that is full of amazing flavor. However, it can really overwhelm a dish if the sides are also heavy. I often serve short ribs with this simple corn, bean and kale salad. It cuts the richness of the short ribs while adding bright flavors to the meal.

I like my short ribs cooked at 131°F (55°C) for medium rare, and it takes 2 to 3 days at that temperature to fully tenderize the sous vide short ribs. If you prefer a more braise-like short rib, or are short on time, you can cook them at 176°F (80°C) for 12 to 24 hours. For something in between, I really like 156°F (68.9°C) for 1 to 2 days.

I'm lucky to have several great butchers in my area, but sometimes I want to up my game and will turn to Snake River Farms, they have a wide variety of beef including Prime, American Wagyu , and dry aged. I also enjoy trying the different ranchers that Crowd Cow has available including their wagyu.
