Getting your preferred temperature every time.
Sous Vide may seem intimidating, but it is a great simple method. Sous Vide is a technique of cooking food in a bag by leaving it in a temperature controlled water bath. You can infuse your steak with ingredients (fresh herbs or rubs) giving it your preferred flavor or for me the beauty of just salt.
This method of cooking used to be reserved just for restaurants but now can be used at home with affordable sous vide models. The temperature you set your sous vide water bath will be the internal temperature that you are looking to achieve. Cooking time should be a minimum of one hour but I found 2 hours is best. Although you technically can’t overcook your steak, I found the texture does change a bit if over 4 hours.
Create a special meal at home with the quality of the finest restaurants! Cooked perfectly using the Sous Vide method you will not be disappointed! Plus no stress over spending your money and overcooking your beautiful steak.
