I've made two batches of ribeyes, with increasing success. Couple more tries and I'll have that nailed down I believe.
I absolutely love beef ribs, but have never really succeeded at them. Anybody I know who makes great beef ribs is either sitting in front of a smoker all day or they're parboiling and this and that. If it's like a four-step process then I'm probably never going to do it. Sous vide made it super easy.
152° for 25 hours. The recipe called for 24, but I wasn't home at the time when I got the alert on my phone and it was about 25. I then unplugged the machine and let them sit in the water for probably close to another hour.
Took them out of the bag , dried them off well and added Menorcan Mike's Datil pepper rub
Got my grill up to 500 degrees and did a minute on both sides.
I cannot describe how tender and delicious it is.

These look delicious and I’m surprised you got such a nice sear in only 1 min per side. Did they flare up from surface fat while searing?
If you enjoyed them…that’s all that matters.
Good job!
I’m kinda partial to parking my ass in front of my smoker for anything rib and brisket.
And yes…it’s an extra step. But you may wanna consider cold smoking them for a few hours in your BBQ before you sous vide. I use smoking tubes with no heat inside my smoker for turkey, prime rib, tri-tips. Then SV it. Then sear. Gives you that smokey taste with the tenderness of the SV. Just fill them with chips or pellets and light.

Looks great.
I usually do these around 140 F for 36 hours, but it’s really hard to screw up beef ribs, and I’m not surprised these were great.
Do you do a light salt rub before bagging? If not, you should try. Really improves moisture retention.
2 minutes and you got that crust? nope.
WoW. I sous vide many things, but always have smoked beef ribs. Only question – why so high a temp (152)?
Obviously I didn’t try it but by the texture looks really unappealing to me by the image
