Sous vide steak has to be tried to be believed. Sous vide is the French term for “under vacuum”, the method that seals food in a plastic bag before immersing it in warm water. This means far longer cooking times because sous vide works at a temperature that is much lower than normal, usually around 50°C (131 °F) to 60 °C (140°F) for meat.
Sous vide ensures even cooking without overcooking, while retaining all the juices and flavor. It transforms cheaper cuts into the tenderest steaks. The best cuts are taken out of this world.
Sous vide brings health benefits too. Vitamins, minerals and other nutrients are better retained with sous vide than with traditional cooking methods. There’s no better way of making the most of your meat’s texture and flavor.
