Grant Sous Vide Expert Unstirred 12L, 26L Water Baths Beef & Lamb Recipes

Grant's Sous Vide cooking equipment is precision temperature cooking - the most consistent way of cooking!

The principle of cooking food sous vide is simple: food (e.g. a cut of meat) is vacuum sealed in a pouch with/without an accompanying sauce or seasoning, and then cooked in a precision temperature controlled bath at comparatively low temperatures (typically around 70°C). Sous vide cooking method is mainly used for cooking meat and fish, vegetables and fruit and offers a range of key benefits:

• Consistency: each dish is the same, every time
• Flexibility:  no rush, leave in to cook for an extra hour with no effect on the quality
• Lower energy: less heat extraction, less heat in the kitchen. Little energy to maintain temperatures 
• Quality: achieve excellence in molecular gastronomy. Experiment and invent new dishes
• Workflow:  Food portions can be prepared in advance, vacuum sealed and stored in a refrigerator for comparatively long periods of time – ideal for coping with the peaks and troughs in activity and for master kitchens supplying ‘satellite’ kitchens
• Cheaper cuts: transform cheaper cuts of meat into the premium. Make same quality dishes, only cheaper

Here's are some beef & lamb recipes perfect for your water bath! 

Sunday Lamb Roast

• 500g Lamb Breast, 1 garlic clove, Salt & Pepper. Vegetables: 4 large white potatoes, 2 leeks, 4 carrots, 1 tbsp butter, 75ml olive oil, Salt & pepper. To Serve: 100g mushrooms, 1/2 red onion, Salt & pepper. 

Recipe: 

• Fill your sous vide water bath with water and preheat to 55ºC.

• Once the sous vide water bath reaches the desired temperature, seal the vacuum pouch and place into your sous vide water bath to cook for 6 hours.

Vegetables

• 1 hour before serving, preheat your oven to 210°C. Add the olive oil to a glass cooking dish and place into the oven to warm.
• Peel the potatoes before chopping into cubes and adding to a pan of salted boiling water to boil for 15 minutes or until soft.
• Drain the potatoes and allow to rest until most of the steam has evaporated. carefully place the potatoes into the glass dish to roast. Continue to turn and baste the potatoes so as to ensure all sides are golden and cooked evenly.
• 15 minutes before serving, peel and slice the carrots before adding to a pan of salted boiling water to cook until soft. Once soft, drain, season and set aside.
• At the same time, cut the leeks into thin pieces before adding to a pan along with the butter and seasoning. Bring the pan to medium heat and cook the leeks until golden.
• Remove the lamb from the vacuum pouch and add to a pan over high heat, together with the juices from the vacuum pouch. Sear on each side for 1 minute, before removing from the heat and allowing to rest for 10 minutes.
• Dice the onion and mushrooms before adding to a pan to brown over medium heat. Once cooked, set aside.
• Remove the roast potatoes from the oven and use a sieve to remove any excess oil. Add these to a serving platter, along with the carrots and leeks.
• Slice the lamb before adding to two plates.
• Add the mushroom and onion to your gravy and mix together well. Add the gravy to a jug and place it alongside the serving platter.
