Prime rib gone wrong

Khaled_205071

Hey,

I got this beautiful prime rib, and I hoped tocook it sou vide so that the meat would just pull apart like the video that showed thr short rib

So i cooked it for 24 h at 80 C/176 F.

It turned out dry and tough ,

I wonder what shoud i have done or where have I gone wrong..

I could use some help, as i had this preconception that the longer u cook on this high temp the more the collagen dissolves and the more tender the meat becomes.

I would appreciate some insight.

Thsnks all

Prime rib is very different than short rib. Short rib is a "tough cut" has a lot of connective tissue and collagen that breaks down over longer and hotter cooks, but prime rib is a "tender cut" that doesn't hold up to hotter temperatures—it just overcooks.

Yeah that's an incredibly high temp for a prime rib. The higher temps and times are better reserved for tough cuts full of connective tissue and fat that can melt and keep things lubed!

Way too hot, way too long. There is little to no collagen in prime rib. As others have indicated prime rib and short rib are nothing alike. Honestly, i can't fathom why you would want to cook beef in general to such a high temperature, even tough cuts (not prime rib). Were you aiming for well done?

EDIT: My suggestion would be research a piece of meat before cooking it, especially if you're unfamiliar with it. Also, never assume that just because 1 word appears in both cuts of meat that they are alike. Example: round steak, shank steak, hanger steak, and strip steak all cook differently to achieve similar results. Good luck!

Prime rib is piece of meat that needs to be cooked at a lower temperature, it has very little connective tissue. By cooking it a long time at a high temperature you will push all the juices out of the meat. It's more like a steak. If you want something more like the short ribs and don't want to use short ribs, use something like a chuck roast.
