Freezing Prime Rib

[Mike Twangzer]

Is it possible to freeze already cooked prime rib to use at a later date ? I have a nice chunk left over and am prime ribbed out at the moment.

I like to slice it thin for sliders and freeze for a later date.

We use this to vacuum seal our leftover prime rib.

Sounds like YES !!!! I have a vacuum sealer and slicing thin for slider sounds great . Thank you.

Shaved ribeye is what authentic cheese steaks are made of if you have a slicer.

Half way freeze it and start slicing.

I freeze in chunks and add to a potato soup with a touch of au jus ! Kinda meat n tater soup!

Yes, you can freeze it. Exactly how to proceed depends on what you want to do with it later. Me ? I like to enjoy it as Prime Rib again. So, I'll carve out 1 to 1.25 inch slices and vac pack each of them separately and freeze them. When I want a nice slice of PR in the future, I pull a slice out and retherm it in a Sous Vide bath at about 130.

If you are forward thinking and your vac sealer can handle it, go ahead and have some cold au jus in the bag when sealing.

Portion it out, vacuum seal, then sous vide when reheating.
