How to Sous Vide Filet Mignon
If you are new to sous vide, it is easy to be intimidated. Once you try it, it becomes so easy and the best way to easily cook a steak to the perfect temperature every time.
Place your sous vide in a pot or bowl large enough to hold enough water for your bag to be fully submerged. It also needs to be deep enough to ensure that the water level is between the minimum and maximum levels on your sous vide circulator. In short, you need some room all around your steak filled bag.
Heat it to your desired temperature and place your bag in the water. That's it!
Recipe Tips
- Make sure to squeeze all of the air out of the zip-lock bag after placing your steaks in the bag, and check for any holes where water might be able to get in.
- Clip the bag to the side of the pot to keep it in place. This is super important. You can use any clip you have on hand, like a chip bag clip. This way, the bag will stay in place and keep your food perfectly submerged.
- On that note, make sure your filet is fully submerged in the water so it cooks evenly. Use a pot that's large enough to hold enough water to fully submerge your steak.
Make sure your bag is tightly sealed with the air removed and no possibility for water to leak in!
