Sous vide beef tenderloin

  • The beef tenderloin is the most tender cut of the animal and should be cooked carefully. Prolonged cooking, especially at high heat, will dry out the meat, which is very lean and mild in flavor.
  • PREPARATION:
  • If the tenderloin is to be served as steaks, they can be cut before sous vide cooking.
  • Season with salt (0.8% of the meat weight is recommended).
  • Optionally, sear briefly on a hot pan with oil and butter to start the caramelization process.
  • Cool before packing.

PACKING/VACUUMING:

  • Lightly coat the tenderloin with oil before placing it in the bag. Pack so the bag is airtight.
