Sous-vide (pronounced soōz ˈvēd), French for "under vacuum", is a method of cooking food in vacuum sealed pouches in a water bath at an accurately determined temperature for an extended period of time.
In this, the second in our
series of basic sous vide
techniques, we look at the
cooking of meat, specifically
beef. Cuts chosen were:
Fillet, the softest of the
meats used, but also with
the least amount of flavour;
sirloin...
As with meat and fish, sous vide has also dramatically changed the way we cook vegetables. From aspects of flavour, preventing oxidization and convenience, it has much to offer.
