The weather this September has been quite warm, but I am starting to crave more comfort-food-like dishes. This recipe for Sous Vide Boneless Leg of Lamb is a combination of warm weather meets comfort food, perfect for this time of year.
The lamb is slow cooked to the perfect temperature in a water bath and then is finished off on the grill to add some char!
I honestly don’t make pork tenderloin much. Unless I’ve slow cooked it, or wrapped it in bacon, I feel like it comes out pretty dry. Which makes it the perfect meat to make using a precision cooker! So since I’ve gotten a precision cooker, this recipe for Sous Vide Herb Crusted Pork Tenderloin has become a staple in my house.
Cooking the pork tenderloin sous vide keeps the meat juicy and tender. Plus, it infuses the meat with whatever herbs you add!
Note: I was sent jars of Le Sauce & Co Finishing Sauces in order to write this post. All opinions are mine alone.
For the last few months, I’ve been messing around with a new toy: a precision cooker that allows me to cook sous vide (which means “under vacuum”).
To cook sous vide, you add ingredients to a sealed plastic bag (or glass jar) and cook it in water that has been brought to a specific temperature. Cooking using this method takes considerably longer than sautéing, roasting, or grilling, but the result is a perfectly even and tender meal! I’ve made a few things sous vide so far, but wanted to first share the most common recipe: Sous Vide Steak. This cooking method seals in moisture and results in a super flavorful steak, so you only need a simple sauce to complete your meal.
I drizzled my Sous Vide Steak with a sauce from Le Sauce & Co.: Classic Green Peppercorn Sauce. Le Sauce is a boutique, craft food company that believes every meal should be an experience. They have four different finishing sauces that elevate a meal with little effort! The Classic Green Peppercorn Sauce is the perfect complement to a perfectly cooked steak, and is made with cream, butter, shallots. cognac, and green peppercorns. Other finishing sauces include Coconut Thai Red Curry, Roasted Poblano & Garlic, and White Wine Lemon & Garlic, and all can be found on Amazon.
Ingredients:
2 (8 to 12 oz) boneless beef tenderloin steaks
salt and pepper, to taste
2 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
1 tablespoon vegetable oil or other oil with a high smoking temperature
