To cook tofu, pork, steak and Brussels sprouts in sous vide, you will need to follow these steps:
- Season your ingredients with salt, pepper and any other spices or herbs you like. You can also add some oil or butter for extra flavor and moisture.
- Place each ingredient in a separate vacuum-sealed bag or a heavy-duty freezer bag. Make sure to remove as much air as possible from the bags.
- Fill a large pot with water and attach a sous vide precision cooker to it. Set the temperature and time according to your desired doneness and the thickness of your ingredients. You can use the following table as a reference:
| Ingredient | Temperature | Time |
|---|---|---|
| Tofu | 180°F (82°C) | 1 to 4 hours |
| Pork | 140°F (60°C) | 1 to 3 hours |
| Steak | 130°F (54°C) | 1 to 3 hours |
| Brussels sprouts | 185°F (85°C) | 45 minutes to 1 hour |
- Submerge the bags in the water bath and make sure they are fully covered by water. You may need to use a binder clip or a weight to keep them from floating.
- When the timer goes off, remove the bags from the water and pat dry the ingredients with paper towels.
- To finish your ingredients, you can either sear them on a hot skillet or grill for a few minutes per side, or broil them in the oven until browned and crisp. This will add some texture and color to your sous vide dishes.
- Enjoy your perfectly cooked sous vide tofu, pork, steak and Brussels sprouts!
