plenzmd1 Posted December 28, 2018 Author Share Posted December 28, 2018 we do a tenderloin for Christmas( i like a standing rib roast much better) , and I did it last year sous vide, this year reverse sear method from Serious Eats. Salted for 24 hrs, 200 degree oven till 127( about 2 20):, rest for 15 minutes, then under a broiler with shallot, thyme, butter mixture. It was freaking perfect! Perfectly red from edge to edge, but a better crust post sear. As serious eats even says, the dry roasting of the oven just lets a better crust develop. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Poojer Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I just did a corned beef 140/48. I never knew it was possible to make a non-stringy corned beef. Sure it takes a while to cool, but with some planning, I've gotten near perfect results each time I've used it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cripple Creek Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Sous vide tenderloin that I finished off with a nice peppercorn sauce, mushrooms and scallops. Probably the best meal I've ever made that didn't use a grill/smoker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will try to post photos tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unbillievable Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 (edited) So I sou vide steak for the first time for a few friends and I got a weird response. So I told them in advance what I was doing. After eating it, one guy complained that his steak was bland. He said that he doesn't like boiled steak and that the flavor was gone. He thought I just stuck the meat in a pot of boiling water. (Yes I seared it after, perfect medium to medium rare doneness) Do we really taste food? Or is it just what our brains tells us what it should taste like... Edited February 15, 2019 by unbillievable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They raced when they didn’t know. Some people just want to be “that guy” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Found this recently and thought it was very cool. For those mentioning the strange texture of sous vide chicken, I've found the best results with a brine for 1-2 hours right before you drop it in the pot, and then cooking at exactly 146, where it will retain all its moisture and still give you a mostly traditional texture. If you're looking for any new seasonings to mess with, I'm developing an addiction to this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you trim more of the fat cap than you normally would w tritip? I typically finish it off on the grill, but it's been raining like crazy here so I go to a cast iron skillet in the oven on broil for about 30 minutes, put meat in the skillet, back in the oven for a minute, then out of the oven to the stove top, flame on high, flip meat, hunk of butter, basting for a minute or so. The best tri-tip is at Costco, and they trim the fat cap, which is okay for me because I trim it down some when I get it from the butcher otherwise. 6 hours ago, unbillievable said: After eating it, one guy complained that his steak was bland. He said that he doesn't like boiled steak and that the flavor was gone. This is the guy who tells you that if X and Y didn't happen, the Bills would have never been lucky enough to win that game. Unless you didn't vacuum seal the meat before the bath, of if the seal broke and the meat was literally in a bag of hot water, then you're friend is just picking a side. Sous vide doesn't remove flavor. Assuming you find it in your heart to make him another steak, next time try Hardcore Carnivore Black before it goes on the grill. Provides a nice flavor boost while giving a nice blackened crust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a very limited list of "word clues". Folks - saw this with great timing as doing first sous vide this weekend. Thanks for all the tips, tricks and resources in this thread.

Thanks for all the tips, tricks and resources in this thread. Good for you! What are you making? My Anova just crapped out and I had to replace it. I’m glad the old one died when it was just me and the wife. (It wouldn’t turn on, and then when it did it wouldn’t hold temp well.) I often use it for large crowds to make things more manageable getting the whole meal together. It’s not only a great way to cook, but it simplifies things as you don’t need precise timing at all.
