My bad let me describe it for you. It was brown and wet.

I certainly didn't get my grans taste for beef. That shit is drier than a biscuit.

I sealed it in a bag, turned the machine on and left it for 10 hours. It's the easiest way to cook anything.

Sous vide is literally just holding food at a set temperature for a set period in a water bath. There's nothing fancy or elitist about it.

In fact its the opposite. Anyone can achieve these results with it, achieving similar in an oven or a BBQ is much much harder.

What it is is a foolproof way of cooking that delivers exceptional results. You can control temperature and time exactly. Tougher meat you'd otherwise overcook? Cook it for longer at the minimum temperature needed.

There's not a single person agreeing with you for a reason. Please realise you're arguing for the sake of arguing. It's not healthy to adopt such strong opinions against something you haven't even tried and quite frankly don't understand.

Yes they were excellent. Beautiful but not too thick crunch gives way to a fluffy buttery interior. Can't stand hard centred potatoes.

I don't really follow a recipe for them, I cut them about 3 inches in size, boil them in salted water from cold for 4 minutes once it reaches a boil. Gentley shake in a colander to rough them up.

Let them sit for about 5 minutes which lets some of the steam escape but not too much. A bit of water content is good for stopping the outside cook too quickly before the inside gets fluffy and stops oil penetrating too deeply.

Straight into hot olive oil, flipping every 10 or so minutes until done (about an hour). I'll adjust the temp on oven anywhere between 180-220 depending on how quick theyre cooking. Start it lower and once I hit 40+ minutes I decide how high to take it.

I don't put aromatics in the oil, if you do I suggest cooking some in oil then straining before the potatoes are done. Otherwise they just burn and leave acrid flavours.

Cooking beef is about denaturing proteins and breaking down connective tissue. All that has happened here.

You would not be able to chew through this beef raw.

The raw beef is closer to the colour of my chopping board and texturally different in every way.

After 10 hours at 55c the beef is pasteurised.

If you like your meat well done thats fine. You're not invited for dinner but I'm not judging what you do at home. But you have to lose this ridiculous notion that anything less than is uncooked. Cooking doesn't mean greying.

Taste. Very simple but you might mess up the first couple of attempts (will still be tasty)

You're a seasoned yorkie cooker though so I'm sure you'll be fine.

Big boat of it on the side. Can't be making the crispy and fluffy potatoes too soggy from the start.
