PSA- go easy on the spices.... I bagged some chicken breasts with jerk seasoning and added ONE sliced up habernero. Cooked it the other night and Holy Jeebus it was hot.
I've tried 3 different times and never had luck... I'm guessing either the suggested temp was too low or the time was too short...
Made NY strip and lobster with the Anova last night... salt and minced garlic on the steak, 1 hour at 129 with a good sear after, and lobster with the shell split, some butter pats and tarragon at 140 for 30 min. Both turned out pretty killer...
Some bacon jam I made this weekend. Plan to use it with some good blue cheese on burgers later this week!
Tried something new this week, and I think this will become my go-to personal steak prep. I tossed a whole roast in the cooker at 135 for 30 hours, pulled it out, and carved it into thick (1 inch or more) steaks. They go in the fridge, and when I want to eat, I crank up the grill, toss one on for a quick sear, and I’m good.
Back to my bulk sous vide roast/steak plan. This may work out. I checked on the meat at Sam's this morning: only $9.18/lb. I can cut this into four 4lb sections, bag them, and roast them, then cut each finished roast into roughly 8 steaks (four full 16oz ribeyes, cut in half, not 8 really thin ones). That's a ribeye a day for a month for $150.
