Notes

  • Every rib will feed approximately two people, but talk to your butcher about the appropriate size for you. The Prime Rib in this post was 6 lbs(no bone) and fed 6 people well. 
  • Use a no bone prime rib roast for this recipe. It allows for a better vacuum seal, particularly if you are using the displacement method. 
  • You can be creative with what you use for both your roast and your cooking vessel. I used a Reynolds Turkey Baking Bag to hold my Turkey and a humongous kettle I use for brewing to cooking it in. 
  • I call for this recipe to cook for 8 hours. It can be cooked for anywhere between 6 and 12 hours.
  • The final temperature of 130 – 135 Fahrenheit is a perfect medium-rare temperature
  • Be generous with your salt rub. Remember, every slice will only get a small bit of the outer crust.
