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. …
We had some friends over for dinner, and they specifically asked for something sous vide. Since we already had the entrée planned, we decided to do a sous vide appetizer or salad. Perusing through Modernist Cuisine at Home I came across Sous Vide Tuna Confit. I figured this would work really well to put on a green salad with a sharp vinaigrette. …
If you’ve ever been to a Korean BBQ restaurant, you’ll remember this cut of meat, and remember it fondly. If flaken style ribs were an 80’s supermodel, they’d be Jill Goodacre: not everybody knows about them, but they’re really damned awesome (and married to Harry Connick, Jr?). Sorry for the tortured metaphor. …
One of my coworkers brought back a gift pack of BBQ sauce and rub from Salt Lick BBQ, and we were left with a conundrum: what to do with this stuff? Well, it turns out that you should have a meat-acular potluck on a random Monday. I wanted to sous vide something, someone else is working on the ribs, someone else on the beans, etc. …
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 …
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. …
