This recipe was originally published on GrillingGrandma.com

Ingredients:

Directions: 
  1. Prep the marinade. In a saucepan, whisk until well combined, red wine, toasted onions, 1/2 tablespoon beef rub, 1/2 tablespoon steak rub, rosemary, and garlic powder. Bring to a boil over high heat, and gently simmer for 10 minutes. Refrigerate marinade until cool then proceed to sous vide
  2. Sous vide the short ribs. Prepare a sous vide machine for 140°F water bath.  Place short ribs in 2 cooking bags then divide marinade between the two bags.  If your sous vide machine can handle 1 extra large bag of short ribs then feel free to prepare only one bag.
  3. Submerge the bag into a water bath and cook for 40-48 hours.
  4. Once the short ribs have cooked using the sous vide method, submerge the vacuum bag into an ice bath of water for 15 minutes or more.
  5. Meanwhile, fill a smoker box with 2 cups of Western BBQ Hickory Smoking Chips.  Heat a gas grill to high heat, about 450°F,  Place the box on the grate above the hottest burner grate. 
  6. Drain the liquid from the vacuum bag and reserve to make a glaze, if desired.  Remove the sous vide short ribs and pat dry with a paper towel.
  7. Brush with preferred cooking oil. Mix the remaining 1/2 tablespoon beef rub and 1/2 tablespoon steak seasoning, and sprinkle on all sides of the short ribs.
  8. Once the smoker box releases smoke, adjust the grill's temperature to indirect heat, about 250°F.  Place the short ribs over the indirect heat and smoke for 25-30 minutes  
  9. Adjust heat to 450°F.  Brush short ribs with preferred cooking oil or glaze.  Transfer the short ribs to direct heat and brown or char each side, about 3-5 minutes per side.
  10. Let meat rest for 5 minutes and serve with your favorite roasted vegetables or BBQ sauce.
Notes:
Additionally, don't waste the juices.  As the meat dries in the sous vide machine, all the cooked juices remain in the bag.  Those juices can be reused to make a rich sauce to serve over the short ribs.
