Ingredients
2–4 portions protein of choice (steak, chicken breast, fish, or pork chops)
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp olive oil or butter
2 garlic cloves
2 sprigs fresh herbs (thyme or rosemary)
Optional seasonings or marinades
Instructions
Fill a large pot with water and preheat using a sous vide immersion circulator to your desired temperature.
Season the protein with salt, pepper, and optional seasonings.
Place the protein in a vacuum-sealed or zip-top bag using the water displacement method. Add garlic, herbs, and butter or oil if desired.
Submerge the sealed bag fully into the water bath and secure it in place.
Cook for 30 to 60 minutes for thin cuts or 1 to 2 hours for thicker cuts.
Remove the protein from the bag and pat dry thoroughly.
For meats, sear in a hot pan with oil or butter for 1 to 2 minutes per side until browned.
Rest briefly and serve immediately.
Notes
Adjust cooking temperature based on protein type and desired doneness.
Use lemon and garlic for chicken or dill for fish for added flavor.
Thin cuts cook faster and are best for quick sous vide.
Store cooked food in sealed bags for up to 3 days.
Reheat gently in a water bath at a slightly lower temperature.
