Are you sure it's the steak and not the sous vide?

Somebody on here did a sous vide steak that came out looking fantastic, but tasting lacklustre. He put it back on the grill for a while and said it much improved the flavour.
Wouldn't have thought so.

Previous one I did was a 42 day dry aged club steak and that tasted great.

She didn’t want any roast, sooo....



The beef was some m&s jobby, said to cook for 50 mins, that was 30 with 10 rest, annoying! Far too over cooked.

Third go at sous vide and I have definitely decided that a blow torch is far better than a pan for searing-



Steak itself wasn't actually that great though. It was a hanger steak from a good butcher so not a common cut but don't think I'll be buying it again, not much flavour at all.
Fantastic chips. clapthumbup

Marinated for an hour or so in the Piri Piri sauce and then fried in a hot pan for a few minutes on each side, then I reduced the heat and added the mushrooms and the tomatoes and fried it for a further 10 minutes or so stirring it now and again until the chicken was done. Very easy.

Pork steak marinated in chilli and smoked paprika sauce. With tomatoes & mozarella, and potatoes with wild garlic butter picked in the woods around the ring which gives it a slightly petroly flavour (the wild garlic, not the potatoes). biggrin

We do as well. They call it Bärlauch over here in the Fatherland.

If you have loads of it another nice thing to do with it is make a soup, bloody lovely.

ETA: Found you a recipe, even with an English translation thumbup

thumbup bookmarked and off over the river which is a hop over the fence at the bottom of our garden to pick a bagfull as Wifey wouldn't like me picking too much of ours until after they've flowered.

Get a probe thermometer, they're cheap as chips

Supermarket cooking times are unbelievable. I genuinely think that most people think supermarket meat is poor because they follow the cooking times on the packets, which tend to be so over zealous it absolutely ruins things.

An average sized chicken is usually 1hr45 if you follow the instructions, but in reality takes about 1 hr - 1hr10 to bring it to a safe temperature. That extra 40 minutes or so is more than enough to competely ruin it and make it grainy and dry.

Annoyingly, I have one, just didn't think to use it. I started cooking at 8pm on Sunday, so was a rush job!

I'm always cautious with the probe and chicken, you need it to be just right in the breast.

close enough, 1 ml = 1 gram depending on what you're measuring.
