An SV wait a couple days until Q technique question
I have a standing rib roast which I SV for 6 hours today. It is now sitting in the fridge, in the SV bag.
The plan is to toss the roast on the grill Wednesday to sear it for NY Eve dinner.
My question is whether it’s okay to leave the roast in the sealed bag that long or should I remove it at some point and save the purge separately? If I should remove it, when?

It’s been a while since I’ve SV then ice bath to chill and hold, but from what I remember, I held my chucks in the bag until I was ready to get back to temp and serve. But like SheliaAnn says, if you didn’t season, you could pull it out the day before and season/dry brine and let sit in fridge until you bring back up to temp?
I guess, lets see what others that do this more frequently than I say about your ask.
Definitely no food scientist here but I think it’ll be fine in the bag. I’d consider sv for an additional hour or two before you sear it otherwise it’ll be cold in the middle. 🤷♂️
Leave it in the fridge in the bag. Don't open it . On the day you are ready to serve it, heat up a sous vide bath at 131°. Toss it in there for 2 hours. Get your oven or grill hot as hell's fire and sear the heck out of it. Rest 10-20 minutes under a foil tent, slice and enjoy.
This right here is exactly what I would do as well. Get that interior back to target, then sear. If the original SV bag is sealed, I think you are good from the food safety perspective.
Thank you all for your sage advice. I am following the advice of JCBBQHulagn1971 and DaveD will leave it in the bag in the fridge, SV at 131F for a couple of hours, and sear the heck out of it. I’ll share the results.
One last thing. I pretty much follow what chefsteps say re:sv. In this video he explains why he picks 136 for prime rib instead of 129/130 for steak. I only bring this up because 136 for a couple hours won’t hurt your meat and it might warm it up better. But I think your strategy above is solid so work your plan.
