Instructions
- 1
Place the Joule™ Turbo Sous Vide inside a pot or large vessel (max 8 quarts) and place on a trivet. Fill with cool tap water until approximately halfway between the minimum and maximum fill lines and keep the pot uncovered.
Tip: A trivet will protect your countertop from direct contact with the hot pot or vessel. - 2
Place the prime rib in a large vacuum seal bag. Add the oil and salt and seal under full vacuum, according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Tip: You can substitute the oil for any flavored oil or butter. Also feel free to add your favorite herbs, spices or dry rub. - 3
In Breville+, press Set Time & Temp at the bottom of the screen and follow the prompts to customize the cooking of your prime rib. Once set, carefully lower the bag into the water, ensuring the bag is submerged, then Start Turbo.

When the timer signals that the prime rib is done, heat a cast iron skillet or heavy-based frying pan over high heat. Carefully remove the bag from the water. Place the prime rib on a paper towel lined cooling rack set over a tray and pat dry.

Only when the pan starts to smoke (this will prevent overcooking and sticking), add the oil and sear the prime rib for 30 seconds on all sides. Transfer to a cooling rack set over a tray and rest for a couple of minutes.
Tip: For extra flavor and color, you can add a knob of butter and baste while searing. - 6
Transfer the prime rib to a board. Slice and serve sprinkled with sea salt and freshly ground pepper.
