Can this rib roast be saved?

[PGH_RAM]

Got this question in a Facebook group I moderate. I misunderstood the question and thought the poster was asking for advice on how to cook a rib roast. Turns out, they were asking about reheating and salvaging what is probably a poorly cooked roast. My gut tells me he should slice it into a steaks, vacuum seal it with olive oil and herbs, and then SV it at 130 for a couple of hours. Either that, or chop it up for hash and chili. I figured I'd check with the pros over here before responding.

Once a roast is overcooked there’s no going back. I’d slice it really thin, reheat it in beef gravy, and serve it open faced over white, wheat, or sourdough bread. Or mashed potatoes.

Agree with Mosca. If its overcooked its pretty much done and I'm assuming that it was tough because it was overcooked, so not sure reheating via SV would do much in the tenderness department, so I think any attempt to try to save it as a roast will likely not result in a better product

I'd lean towards repurposing it and using it in something that calls for gravy or broth. I thinking like how a poorly cooked brisket can be repurposed into chili. Or another option is to slice thin, dunk in broth to reheat and serve on toasted bread as a quasi-french dip sandwich.

Slow roast is the best method for a rib roast, comes out perfect.

I'm of the chop it up for chili school. Small enough pieces and a couple of hours simmering with the other ingredients should break it up.

I agree with Mosca . I am wondering what happened to that communication gap that led to the rib roast being awful but the wife apparently buying one. A well-placed text could have resulted in a different buy.

I considered that question, too, and landed on "eh, it was for charity."

Maybe resmoke it to an IT of like 200 and treat it like chopped or sliced brisket. I'll for sure wrap after it hits about 170 and the bark is set

Two votes, one fer Mosca and one fer yerself and the grind it up route.
As a graduate of Meathead I, olive oil & herbs in a baggie will do nuthin, cept coat it in olive oil & herbs.

Dice it up for soup or stew

Hash the heck out of it and make taco's.
