Personally, I wouldn't sous vide a ribeye. Too fatty.

What do you like about ribeye? With sous vide you can make a NY strip

I've found that the sous vide doesn't render fat as fully as other methods like a hot skillet/oven

This. Fat doesn't quite render at the lower temps

We've always used ribeye for sous vide. This year for Christmas it was just too fatty. Today we tried New York cuts

That is really rare. Does it taste good all frozen?

4 hours?!?

Sure. Softens it up

I thought 4 hrs pushed the food safe zone for meats cooked under 135 degrees

No. You can cook chicken at that temp if you wanted and did it long enough.

I think the food is safe (I may be wrong), but I've read where if you cook things too long they can get mushy

This does happen.

Serious Eats guy says to never cook lower than 130 for longer

I was referring to steak

I like the longer sear with ribeyes to help with the fat

You don't need the special bags. Just put the steaks in a 1qt
