Get ready to impress your guests with Sous Vide Sirloin Steak topped with a vibrant Chimichurri Sauce. Let’s dive into the origins, perfect pairings, and ideal occasions for this exquisite dish.
The Origins of Sous Vide Cooking
Sous vide, which means “under vacuum” in French, is a cooking technique where food is vacuum-sealed in a bag and then cooked to precise temperatures in a water bath. This method ensures even cooking and enhances the tenderness and flavor of meats. The result? A steak that’s cooked to perfection every time, with a juiciness and texture that’s hard to achieve with traditional cooking methods.
Sous Vide Sirloin Steak with Chimichurri Sauce Recipes
Ingredients:
– 4 8 oz sirloin steaks
– Salt, pepper, and granulated garlic to taste
– 1 tablespoon butter
– 2 cups fresh parsley, finely chopped
– 1 cup extra virgin olive oil
– 5 garlic cloves, minced
– 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
– 1 tsp red pepper flakes
– 1 shallot, diced
– 1 tsp dried oregano
– Juice of 1 lemon
Instructions:
- Season and Sous Vide the Steaks: Generously season the sirloin steaks with salt, pepper, and granulated garlic. Place each steak along with a pat of butter in a vacuum-sealed bag. Cook the steaks in a sous vide water bath at 130°F for 2 hours.
- Prepare the Chimichurri Sauce: While the steaks are cooking, combine the parsley, olive oil, garlic, vinegar, red pepper flakes, oregano, shallot, and lemon juice in a bowl. Stir well and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Cool and Grill the Steaks: Once cooked, transfer the bags to an ice bath for 5 minutes to prevent overcooking. Remove the steaks from the bags, pat them dry, and preheat your grill to high heat. Sear the steaks for 3-4 minutes on each side until a crust forms and the internal temperature reaches at least 140°F for medium doneness.
- Serve: Let the steaks rest for 10 minutes, then slice against the grain. Serve with the freshly made chimichurri sauce.
Perfect Pairings
To elevate this dish, consider the following pairings:
– Side Dishes: Serve with roasted vegetables, garlic mashed potatoes, or a fresh arugula salad.
– Wine Pairing: A robust Malbec or a full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon will complement the rich flavors of the sirloin and the zesty chimichurri.
– Bread: Warm, crusty bread like a baguette to soak up any extra chimichurri.
