My first cook with Sous Vide -- Ribeye Steaks
Sonny3
Posts: 455
I recently posted that I bought the Anova Sous Vide from Amazon during their Prime Days. I have been reading so much about them here and you guys are always so helpful at enticing others to spend money, so I figured I had to have it.
So I posted a few questions yesterday, cranked it up and tried my hand with a couple of Choice Ribeyes from the local grocery. My wife and I both like Rare to Med Rare steaks on the grill that are rubbed with Lane's Ancho Expresso Coffee Rub. Since the first time I cooked with Lane's my wife won't let me cook steaks any other way.
Now I have only had my Eggs just short of a year, so there were a number of times that the steaks didn't always turn out dead on. Yesterday with SV was no exception. I was concerned with overcooking the steaks while getting that hot fire char and crust, that I think I took them off just a tad too soon. While they could have been cooked just a few degrees higher, they were without doubt farkin fantastic. I will not be so overly cautious next time.
There are no plated pics with the sides and so forth. I posted a cook a while back with steaks, baked taters and grilled mixed veggies, so there was no need to post pics of those again. The veggies were paired with the meal again because SWMBO liked them so much she pretty well demanded them again. In fact she had me cook a much larger portion so she could have them again this week.
The same can't be said for leftover steak, there was none. In fact the dogs didn't even get to have any scraps, there were none.

Thank you folks for your kind comments. I am now researching ideas for my next SV cook. There is a whole other world of cooking out there and I am enjoying every minute of it.

Great cook Sonny ... those steaks look great.
How about a picture of your SV stand! Wonder if a rib rack will work?

Try sweet potatoes cubed @150 for a couple hours then finish in the oven to crisp, or bacon over night at 147 the crisp one side on the blackstone, Devine.

I would definitely recommend trying burgers cooked sous vide as well!
This is a bison burger, cooked 129F for 1 hour, then finished in a cast iron skillet, topped with a 1/4 inch thick slice of Boars Head Vermont Cheddar cheese. Succulent is an understatement!!!
Below it is a picture of the case I have for my Anova. I cant believe none of the units come with a storage case. If you like it you can find it at www.sousvide.solutions enter coupon code ANOVA20 and get 20% off.
Its also available on Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/Storage-Immersion-Cooker-Sansaire-Gourmia/dp/B01ILEIFN0/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1468937175&sr=8-2&keywords=sous+vide+solutions
Good luck and keep cooking!
