Sous Vide Roast Beef Recipes

SOUS VIDE ROAST BEEF

Steps:

• Set up your sous vide water bath with the temperature set to 136℉
• In a small bowl, mix the minced rosemary and garlic with the smoked paprika, mustard and onion powders, salt, and pepper.
• Rub the beef down with Worcestershire sauce, then spread the spice rub over the whole roast.
• Vacuum seal the roast in a plastic bag and cook it at 136℉ for 24 hours. When the roast is done cooking, drain the liquid into a small bowl and set the roast aside for finishing.
• To get a nice crust on the outside of the beef roast, place it on a broiler pan and finish it in a 350ºF oven for 15 minutes, turning it halfway through. Once the roast comes out of the oven, let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
• The juices from the roast can be served as an au jus. To make the au jus take the liquid from the bag the roast was cooked in and bring it to a boil in a small saucepan for three to five minutes.
• The au jus is especially good when you're using the roast beef to make French Dip sandwiches.

SOUS VIDE EYE OF ROUND

Steps:

• Mix together salt, garlic granules, onion powder, and pepper in a small bowl.
• Trim and discard any fat from roast. Rub the roast with enough Worcestershire sauce to coat. Rub seasoning mixture over the entire surface of the roast.
• Place seasoned roast into a vacuum bag and seal using a vacuum sealer. Immerse the bag in a heat-proof container of water with a sous vide cooker. Set temperature to 134 degrees F (57 degrees C); cook for 18 hours. Wrap the top of the pot with plastic wrap; this will help retain water.
• When the time is up, remove roast from the bag and pat completely dry with paper towels.
• Heat 2 tablespoons avocado oil in a large skillet over high heat until it shimmers. Add roast and sear until evenly browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side, adding more avocado oil if necessary.
• Move the roast to a serving dish and serve.

SOUS VIDE BLADE ROAST WITH AU JUS

Steps:

• Place a heat-resistant pad underneath a large pot filled with warm water. Attach a sous vide precision cooker to the pot and set temperature to 135 degrees F (57°C). Set the timer to 24 hours.
• Remove all surface fat and silver skin from the roast. Truss the roast and generously season with salt and pepper on all sides.
• Place the roast in a large resealable bag and remove all the air with a vacuum sealer. Place bag in the pot once the right temperature is reached, making sure it is completely submerged. Cover pot with plastic wrap to ensure the water doesn't evaporate.
• Combine olive oil, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon pepper, thyme, and parsley in a small bowl 1 hour before the timer goes off.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) 20 minutes before the timer goes off. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Remove the bag from the pot and transfer to a plate. Remove roast and pat dry using paper towels to remove as much moisture as possible. Place the roast on the prepared baking sheet and cover with olive oil mixture.
• Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
• While the roast is in the oven, combine water, beef base, soy sauce, and garlic granules in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a soft boil, then reduce heat, and simmer until sauce is reduced, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Remove roast from the oven, cover with foil, and let rest for 10 minutes.
• Slice roast and place on a platter. Drizzle au jus on top or serve sauce separately.
