Indulging at Henrys might not be feasible every night, but what if we told you that you could replicate their acclaimed sous-vide steak in the comfort of your home kitchen?
What is Sous Vide Cooking?
Sous vide is a French term translating to "under vacuum." Recognised for its consistency in delivering perfectly cooked meals, this method involves sealing the food in a bag, then slowly cooking it in a water bath at a precisely regulated temperature. This vibrant cooking style allows the steak to cook evenly, retaining the juices and delivering a tender, succulent result every time. If you are a fan of steak, be it medium-rare or well-done, sous vide ensures that it is cooked to your exact preference.
How to Cook Steak Sous Vide Style?
Now onto the main event – how can you bring the restaurant-quality steak experience from Henrys into your kitchen?
Step 1: Preparation
Start by seasoning your steak just like the chefs at Henrys do, with a mix of sea salt, black pepper and garlic. There's no secret ingredient required; simplicity is key in this regard. Make sure each side of your steak is evenly coated.
Step 2: Bagging
Place the steak into a vacuum-sealed bag. If you don't have a vacuum sealer, a high-quality, resealable plastic bag will do just fine. It's key to squeeze out as much air as possible for an optimal sous vide experience.
Step 3: Sous Vide
Set your sous vide cooker to the desired temperature based on your preferred doneness for steak. For a tender, medium-rare steak, Henrys recommends a cooking temperature of 130°F (54.4°C). Cook the steak in the sous vide cooker for a minimum of 1 hour and a maximum of 4 hours.
Step 4: Finishing Touches
Once your steak is done cooking sous vide style, it's time for the finishing touches. Sear your steak on a hot skillet with some butter. This searing should be short and sweet - we recommend 30 seconds on each side to achieve a flavourful, caramelized crust. Remember, the searing is merely to enhance the flavour – your steak is already perfectly cooked!
