Sous Vide Sirloin Steak Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 pound 1-inch thick sirloin steak
- ½ teaspoon of coarse salt
- ½ teaspoon of black pepper
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 2 minced cloves of garlic
- Optional herbs (rosemary, thyme)
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.
