Sous Vide Round Steak
Prepare the perfect steak with a little seasoning, a vacuum seal and a sous vide cooker.
Servings : 1-2 Prep Time: 10 minutes Total Time: 24 hours
INGREDIENTS
- 1 5.5-ounce top or bottom round steak
- 1 sprig lemon thyme
- 1 minced garlic clove
- Salt
- Pepper
- 1 tbsp butter
PREPARATION
Season the steak liberally with salt. Place the steak, garlic and lemon thyme in a vacuum-sealed container.
Cook in a 140-degree Fahrenheit (60-degree Celsius) water bath for medium rare and for 24 hours to make this otherwise-tough cut as tender as any steak you’ll ever have.
Remove the steak from the vacuum-sealed container, and discard the sprig and garlic. In a heavy-bottomed pan, set to medium-high heat and pan sear the steak so each side is nicely browned. Place the butter in the pan and let melt. Cook another 30 seconds.
Allow the steak to rest for 3 minutes. Sprinkle with pepper and serve.
