Heat water in a sous vide water bath to 133 degrees F (56 degrees C).
- 2
Trim any remaining fat from the short ribs; coat thoroughly with garlic and salt. Place the ribs in a large, resealable plastic bag. (Use two bags if necessary to leave plenty of room between the ribs.) Seal on low pressure if using a vacuum sealer, removing as much air as possible.
- 3
Submerge the bag fully in the water bath and cook, rotating every 12 to 18 hours, for 60 hours. Increase the heat to 144.5 degrees F (62.5 degrees C) and cook for an additional 12 hours.
- 4
Remove the ribs from the water bath; let them rest in the bag on a cooling rack placed over a baking sheet until cool enough to handle.
- 5
Remove the ribs from the bag and drain. Place the ribs on a work surface, turn them so the bones are facing up, and slice the meat between the bones to separate them. Cut the membrane running along the length of each rib; slide the bones loose from the meat. Trim any excess fat and cut the ribs into serving portions. Pat the ribs dry with paper towels; return them to the cooling rack.
- 6
Heat a skillet until smoking hot. Add the ribs and brown them quickly, 30 to 60 seconds per side.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
