I have a pretty large group for Christmas Eve boneless Prime Rib (15 people). I have a 16.5 lb (before trimming fat) Prime grade Prime rib. And I want it done on time and not goof it up.
I have been doing Choice Tri-tips by souis vide to medium rare for 3-4 hours (131F or so), cool down in ice bath, then smoke back to 110 or so, and then sear. The results have been absolutely fantastic, perfect tenderness and vastly superior to no or shorter times in the water on those choice grades.
I want to souis vide this monster roast ahead of time, and get a little smoke/sear right at the end. i've done prime ribeye steaks in the water at 131F for 60-90 minutes with great results.
My questions are mainly around time for souis vide on the roast. I've seen many talk about 6 hrs in the water for large choice prime rib roasts. I'm a little concerned about too much time in the bath for a prime grade getting a bit too soft and mushy. I mainly think I need to heat it through not further tenderize prime meat. Is 6 hours in the bath too long for a Prime grade roast? Any expereince on sous vide time for a prime roast? Also should I cut the thing into 2 or 3 smaller roasts?
Any advice would be appreciated.
