Trevin had the good idea of trying to make a Paseo-style sandwich with the sous vide. I like this idea because (a) Paseo sandwiches are awesome, (b) pork is awesome and (c) I like a good challenge. We came up with this idea while Paseo was closed. It has since reopened, but I still wanted the challenge. …
Flank steak is still one of my favorite cuts of meat due to the texture and versatility. It’s a relatively long and flat cut of meat, and used in traditional dishes like a London Broil and commonly used as a replacement for skirt steak in fajitas. …
Finally found a delicious recipe over at Stefan’s Gourmet Blog for Pork Carnitas that turned out marvelously for a dinner party we had the other night. Everyone of our guests commented how juicy and tender the pork was. Winner! Due to laziness of not wanting to make our own pork stock in Stefan’s original recipe, we substituted chicken stock instead and the dish didn’t seem to miss a beat. …
Sometimes when you’re making dinner, you just make too much. This is the case when I made the Sous Vide Country Style Pork Ribs with Dijon Sauce last week. We had enough for dinner. And, lunch the next day. And, we still had half of the lot left. What to do? …
Let me start by saying
DO NOT BOTHER MAKING SOUS VIDE CARAMELIZED ONIONS!
After 18 hours, it still took me an additional 45 minutes of cooking the onions in the pan to give them a good flavor. In that amount of time, I could have made them the traditional route. This recipe is here for others to critique and improve upon. Also, I spent the time to record the process and make a video out of it… so you have to read and watch it now …
Finally, a sous vide pork dish that my wife liked. I’ve had a couple of duds with pork… which was very surprising to me given how much I love the stuff. But, after some soul-searching and taste testing, I decided that I was just being too light on the salt. I upped the amount of salt I was using, and it worked like a charm …
This is hands down one of the tastiest dishes I’ve made so far via sous vide, and to top it off, it’s crazy simple.
The sous vide cook time is a mere 2 hours for the lamb chops plus any additional time for your side dishes or other accompaniments. Personally, I love lamb chops served with roasted vegetables like red and orange peppers, onions and asparagus. An alternative is to serve it with a grilled soft fruit (my personal favorite being peaches when in season). …
Simple sous vide recipe that turns a very cheap cut of meat into something you and your family will rave about. Unlike other sous vide chuck roast recipes you’ll find, this one has a cook time of 24 hours in sous vide compared to 48 and 72 hour versions. Due to the lower cook time, the texture of the meat is less like a traditional roast, and instead more like a very, very tender steak. …
