Didn't know what to get myself for Xmas, so I bought an entry level sous vide cooker (Anova Nano). Bought from Best Buy for $64. Did some quick google research and decided my first cook would be simple. I opted for the choice boneless sirloin from Costco instead of the prime. Didn't want to spend extra money in case it flopped.
I was not sure how it would work out, first time using this system and first time ever eaten sous vide prepared food.
I added salt, lots of fresh ground black pepper, garlic powder rubbed in well. A few sprigs of rosemary, a bit of olive oil added to rubbed steak in vacuum bag. Sucked up tight.
Set anova to 129 and sirloin took a dip in the pool for 2 hours.
Fifteen minutes prior to completion, preheated gas grill to 500 and seared 2 minutes per side.
All I can say is WOW. The results were amazing. No shrinkage, flavorful, extremely juicy, tender and perfectly cooked. I am a Believer in the process.
Will try sous vide and smoker combo soon to get some additional flavor.
Will take suggestions for my next cook.
