What is Sous Vide Cooking?
A Sous Vide Cooker cooks food vacuum-sealed in a water bath. This makes it easy to cook food to your desired degree of doneness with no chance of overcooking!
Sous vide cookers are also known as precision cookers or immersion cookers.
All you do is attach the machine to a pot of water, select the time and temperature, then place your food sealed in a bag in the pot of water to cook. It is the easiest and best way to cook pork!

How to Sous Vide Filet Mignon

- Place the filet in a plastic zip-lock bag and press the air out. Seal tightly.

- Remove the filet from the bag and place it on a separate plate. In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter and cook minced garlic.

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.
Sous Vide Filets 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!

Sous Vide Filet Mignon FAQs
I recommend cooking pork chops at 130°F. This will give you perfectly tender, juicy meat, and they only have to stay in the sous vide cooker for at least 1 hour.
They can stay in the water bath for up to 4 hours and will not overcook. They will stay at the same temperature throughout. That’s the magic of sous vide!
The only chance of overcooking is if you sear for too long or if the temperature is set too high. Following our instructions, you will never overcook it using this method!
How to Reheat Sous Vide Filet
You can reheat your steak right in the sous vide machine! Reseal the leftover filet in a plastic bag and cook for 1 hour at the same temperature you cooked it to; in the case of this recipe, 130°F.
