Sous-Vide is an easy way to get fork tender Sherry and Thyme Short Ribs. Embodies an elegance and richness everyone will love! It's perfect for dinner, in a sandwich for lunch, or even with eggs in the morning.
Are you looking for a new way to cook? You are probably a tad used to the tried and true methods of baking, grilling, and pan frying. Heck, even using a slow cooker is extremely popular these days. What if I told you there is another simple yet super slow method of cooking – Sous-Vide!
Sous-Vide means under vacuum in French. This cooking method involves sealing food in a plastic pouch and placing it in a water bath at a very accurate and regulated temperature. Cooking times are slow and can go up to 72 hours. The result is amazingly tender and tasty food!
I love that you can cook AND marinade meats in one swoop. How cool is that?
It's actually really easy to Sous-Vide plus it takes out the worry of overcooking your food. Today I'll be sharing with you how to make Sherry and Thyme Sous-Vide Short Ribs (SO tender and perfectly cooked) using a FoodSaver® V4440 2-in-1 Automatic Vacuum Sealing System(purchased on Amazon):
Never eat overcooked food again! And in case you didn't know, FoodSaver® is the number 1 Vacuum Sealing System in the US!
Using a FoodSaver® V4440
To get started, purchase your own FoodSaver® V4440 2-in-1 Automatic Vacuum Sealing System and the FoodSaver® 3PK 11″ Vacuum Seal Rolls by hovering over the below image!
The FoodSaver® V4440 comes with BPA free FoodSaver® 3PK 11″ Vacuum Seal Rolls. The FoodSaver® vacuum seal rolls and bags have a unique multilayer construction making them safe for microwaves, boiling temperatures, freezer, and refrigerator use. This means they can go straight from the freezer or fridge into your sous-vide water bath without risk of punctures or tears.
Meals that are cooked sous-vide can stay fresh in the fridge for up to a week. Makes weeknight sous-vide meals a breeze! All that's needed is some quick browning! Plus they make meats that aren't naturally tender – oh so very tender!!
I love that with the FoodSaver® V4440, I have options for dry and moist vacuum sealing too. Not to mention the amazing wand vacuum sealer. I can easily vacuum seal hotdogs, lunch meats, or even cheeses in FoodSaver® zipper bags after every use. For me, this means my FoodSaver® V4440 is a permanent fixture on my countertop!
Step 1
Insert a FoodSaver® Vacuum Seal Roll into the FoodSaver® V4440. Make sure the material flap is down and pulled below the roll cutter bar. Pull enough bag material to hold the Sherry and Thyme Short Ribs Sous-Vide ingredients plus 4 inches. Lower the green roll cutter bar and slide the cutter across to cut the bag.
Step 2
Press the seal button and slowly insert the bag material (curl side down) into the vacuum channel until you hear the motor start. Wait for the red light to turn off to signal sealing is complete.
Step 3
Place all the Sous-Vide Sherry and Thyme Short Ribs ingredients (recipe below) in the newly formed bag. Slowing insert the open end of the bag (curl side down) into the vacuum channel. The vacuum pump will automatically start and when the red progress light turns off, it's done!
During this process, the system creates an airtight seal to lock in freshness, protecting foods from spoiling and delivering consistent cooking results. It also prevents floating during sous-vide cooking by removing food-degrading oxygen (a must for even cooking!).
Cooking beef short ribs sous-vide is the way to go! Normally, you can get tender meat with braising but it's way too well done. Sous-vide allows you to get a super tender medium or medium-rare meat. SO fabulous!!
Made with beef short ribs, onions, cooking sherry, a bay leaf, garlic, and fresh thyme. Cooked sous-vide for an amazingly fork tender meal.

Ingredients
1.5-2lbbeef short ribs
1onionthinly sliced
3clovesgarlicminced
6sprigsfresh thymestrip leaves
1bay leaf
1/2cupcooking dry sherry
salt and pepperto taste
Instructions
Add water to a large dutch oven or stockpot. Preheat the sous-vide and let it rise to a 180°F temperature.
While the sous-vide is warming, slice the onion; separating the pieces. Season the short ribs with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Place the FoodSaver® Vacuum Seal Roll inside the FoodSaver® V4440 and cut the first bag with the integrated cutter and seal.
Open the bag and add the short ribs, onion, bay leaf, sherry, and thyme. Mix well.
Place the bag in the theFoodSaver® V4440 system and it will be airtightly sealed in few seconds. Cook sous-vide for 24 hours. Cover the dutch oven or stock pot with foil to minimize evaporation. Check periodically to add more water to keep short ribs submerged, if needed.
When the timer goes off, remove the bag from the water bath and turn on the oven broiler. Place short ribs on a broiler safe baking sheet and broil until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
Recipe Notes
If you want a sauce with your short ribs, separate the liquids from the short ribs when removing everything from the pouch.
In a saucepan, bring the liquid mixture to a rapid simmer over medium heat and until it coats the back of a spoon and is reduced by 2/3rds. Skim off fat and season with salt and pepper.
It's perfect to pour over the short ribs!
Goes great with mashed potatoes or riced cauliflower.
Sous-vide is also healthy. It seals in all the vitamins and nutrients while using very little fats to cook.
Sherry and Thyme Sous-Vide Short Ribs are quickly becoming a family favorite! One of the great things about this recipe is that it can be made with other types of meat – pork shoulder, chuck roast, or whatever you fancy. And even the toughest meat will become tender!
It is also amazing if you add mushrooms! With sous-vide and the help of the FoodSaver® V4440 and FoodSaver® vacuum seal rolls cooking has never been easier. Not to mention, there is barely any cleanup. Every chef's dream!

Hmm… I have never tried this Sous-Vide method of cooking, but the results look delicious. I am going to have to ask my daughter if she’s interested in this machine.
Everyone in our family are rib lovers! We have eaten them cooked a few different ways. They are delicious every time! I pinned this to make these in the near future. I will have to try ribs with eggs 🍳 Thank you for sharing!!
I’ve never tried sous vide cooking by I have a multipot that has a sous vide function so I need to try it. These short ribs look so tender and delicious.
Sous-Vide Food Saver- My Cousin has one and I never turn down dinner at her house – The Texture and Taste are great and this a life changing way to cook I have even gone to her house and used it for my family . I have hinted to all- all I want from Santa is this – They know it is a Win-Win gift. If you have tried – this a treat for you and will change how you cook WARNING – DO NOT LET OTHERS IN TO YOUR HOME WHEN YOU ARE USING -THE AROMA IS WONDERFUL-THEY WILL STAY FOR DINNER
I don’t really care for ribs but I guess beef ribs would be a good try. I don’t really care for anything pork except ham, bacon & sausage but I would give this a try. I’ve always wanted a Food Savor Machine and now it looks like I will be getting one as I am a single disabled person and having someone prepare the meals for me would make it a lot easier for me to start eating healthier than I am now with Microwave meals. Thank you for the share, sounds great. Not sure about the Sous-Vide, never heard of it. Guess I will have to research it.
It would be great with beef ribs! A Foodsaver will def come in handy if someone is going to start making you freezer meals. SO sweet of them by the way. Sous-vide is just a simple cooking method using a tool and a water bath. It’s really easy…like using a crock pot. This is the one I use (aff link) https://amzn.to/2SlH7bm … comes with an app too!
I have never used sous vide, but it looks very interesting! I have a couple friends who are always raving about the things they make, so maybe I’ll give it a try one of these days. Plus, I’m pretty bored with my standard rotation of meals.
This would be a great kitchen tool to add! You can make old foods in new ways 🙂 This is the one I use (aff link) https://amzn.to/2SlH7bm … comes with an app too!
I’ve never tried sous vide before because I thought it was too hard for me. BUt you make it look so easy and the short ribs look so good! You’re making me hungry!
I have not tried cooking with a sous vide method. I do love using my Crockpot in the fall though. Whatever helps get dinner on the table the easiest is great for me!
This looks good! Im not much of a meat eater, but i like it at times. My fiancé definitely loves when I find a new meat dish to try. I have ever done Sous-Vide before.
I’ve heard of sous-vide, but didn’t really know exactly what it is. It sounds like a nice way to WOW your guests. If I had a bigger kitchen, I would love to try it, but I don’t even have room for a microwave. The short ribs sound scrumptious, and I have many spices, but thyme is the one I use the most.
I have never done sous-vide before. Recently I read about it for the first time and like now, I believe you completely about how tender and good this method prepares a dish but can’t wrap my mind around how to actually do it with out being walked through it. I told my mother that we were going to have to Try this soon.

those short ribs look amazing! the food saver machine looks super cool and something i would eventually like to invest in. we have to store alot of meats because were a huge family and thats something that would be helpful.
I’ve always been curious about cooking with a Sous-Vide method. Timing wise it doesn’t seem bad compared to some of the longer times on my smoker and the meat looks great.
