You can cook it directly to make this fancy, juicy, and luscious steak for dinner, perfect after a long tiring day.
Some tips to consider when making this recipe
- Any leftovers can be stored in an air-tight bag and stored for 4-5 days in the refrigerator.
- Steak must be prepared well before they are left in the freezer by seasoning the meat with salt and pepper or any marinade you prefer. Align them in a zip-lock bag in a single layer. Vacuum seal the bag with the water displacement method, then leave it in the freezer.
- Tougher cuts such as round steak take the same cooking time as the fresh one.
- It’s best to cook this meat cut to medium-rare or medium at 135°F (57°C) to retain the tenderness, texture, and flavor of the meat, so it doesn’t become chewy. However, you are free to cook it to any doneness you prefer.
Here’s a Temperature/doneness guide for you
| Steak Doneness | Temperature used |
| Rare | 130°F (54°C) |
| Medium-rare | 135°F (57°C) |
| Medium | 145°F (63°C) |
| Medium-well | 155°F (68°C) |
| Well done | 165°F (73°C) |
Sous Vide Frozen Steak Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pound of ribeye steak (Frozen)
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- To prepare the Sous vide, you will first need to fill its container with water, then adjust the temperature to 135°F (57°C). Leave it to preheat.
- Season your steak with salt and pepper if it’s not already seasoned prior to freezing.
- Now, for the ‘Water displacement’ technique, you will need to put your steak in a zip-lock bag, then close the bag completely except one corner to allow air to come out. Dip the bag in a water filler container, keeping the zip-line above the water surface. Close the zip-line completely.
- Dip the bag completely into the sous vide container. Leave to cook for 1.5 hours.
- When the time is done. Transfer the bag with the steak to cool off in a water bath for 10 minutes.
- Remove excess moisture from the steak with a paper towel. Sprinkle some salt and pepper according to taste.
- On a hot iron skillet, put on a medium-high flame, sprinkled with the rest of the olive oil, sear your steak for 1 minute on each side.
- Slice the meat into strips. Dish it up with mashed potatoes and veggies. Enjoy!
