Sous Vide Basics

0

Prepare protein by adding flavours, generally avoiding liquid. Vacuum seal and store in fridge if desired, allowing time for marinating. Also freezes well for easy mid-week meals.

General formula:
1 – Add flavour to the protein. Many suggest avoiding raw garlic as it turns green.
2 – Vacuum seal in plastic bags.
3 – Immerse with sous vide device of choice.
4 – Set temperature and wait until cooked.
5 – Remove from bag and pat dry with paper towel.
6 – Rest 5-10 minutes.
7 – Heat a skillet with a small amount of butter or oil. Sear quickly on both sides. Many advocate a light layer of full-fat mayonnaise before the sear.
