    Opportunistic purchase. Seemed to have particularly decent marbling. Normally I do single rib cuts at 135 for a few hours. After cooking I’ll just blast it in a hot pan with a mayo sear.

  2. I’m going to be honest: it probably doesn’t matter. Just do it. See how it goes. Do again next week. Rinse. Repeat. Find what you like. It might even be 136, or 134, or, heaven forbid, 139, or 131.

    there’s nothing magical about 137. it will render fast a bit faster than 135, but not much. you’ll probably be fine at 135.

    there’s also nothing special about 135. the protein will be a bit less done than 137, but not much. the only good thing about 135 is it’s a “round” number.

    so screw it, be unique, split the difference, do 136

  4. Since it’s Dry Aged, it will be more dense. I’d go 135.

    Correct answer is don’t sous vide it and cook it traditionally. Too nice of a cut and sous vide is not the best for steaks imo

    M&S cote’s are really good tbf. Have a great meal tonight!

    Also I’d say 137 club for this and a mayo sear. With the weather right now you can’t bbq but a flame sear would be great for this.
