    Sous Vide recipes help you to cook the food to a precise temperature, producing a perfect dish with minimum effort. I use my Sous Vide Machine many times every week, like cooking Sous Vide Poached Eggs for breakfast, Sous Vide Brisket or Sous Vide Fish for dinner, and Sous Vide Cheesecake for dessert.

    I have several sous vide immersion circulators, and this is the model I like most.

    What is Sous Vide?

    Sous vide is a French term that translates to “under vacuum”. It’s a cooking method by sealing food in a bag, then cooking for a long time to a very precise temperature in a water bath. This technique produces results that are impossible to be achieved by other methods, and is incredibly EASY to use!

    If you are new to sous vide, we’ve written a simple guide to get you started: What is Sous Vide Cooking. You’ll find everything you need to know about sous vide.

    Essentials You’ll Need

    • Sous Vide Immersion Circulators:  If you’re looking for a reliable sous vide machine, I recommend Anova Culinary 750W.  
    • Zip Loc Bags
    • Kitchen Tongs
    • A Large Pot or Sous Vide Container

    Sous Vide Meal Prep Tips

    Batch cooking and meal prep have never been easier! Find one day each week, for me, it’s usually Saturday or Sunday. Cook a bunch of meat and vegetables using sous vide. Keep them in their bags, and quickly chill in an ice bath. Store them in the fridge if you plan to eat them in the following days or freeze them for later use.

    Did you know? The vacuum sealed food generally last much longer in the refrigerator or freezer. For the food that lasts about 3 days in the refrigerator when stored in an airtight container, it can last for 1 week when it’s vacuum-sealed!

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can I Sous Vide Frozen Food?

    Yes, you can sous vide food straight from frozen. For example, Sous Vide Frozen Steak and Sous Vide Frozen Chicken Breast are my favorites! It’s pretty much the same as sous vide fresh food except that you’ll need to cook it longer:

    Time to sous vide frozen food = Fresh Cook Time + (Fresh Cook Time/2)

    What’s the Right Temperature to Cook Sous Vide?

    You’ll need to set the temperature differently according to the different food you are cooking and the different doneness you prefer. Vegetables are cooked at much higher temperatures than meat or fish. Follow Sous Vide Steak Temp and Time for the complete guide on how to choose the right temperature for your steak.

    How Long to Cook My Food in Sous Vide Water Bath?

    Follow each recipe on the cooking time. Some vegetables can be ready as short as 15 minutes, while some roast might take several days.

    Vacuum-sealing a zip-loc bag using "water displacement" method.

    Are Ziploc Bags Safe for Sous Vide Cooking?

    Yes, bags made for cooking sous vide are perfectly safe. Popular brands of zip-top bags are great as well.

    How to Vacuum Seal a Bag without a Vacuum Sealer?

    If you don’t have a vacuum sealer, you can still vacuum seal a zip-loc bag using the “water displacement” technique: Just place the food in a ziplock bag, including seasonings, and seal all but one corner of the bag. Slowly place it into the water bath, and make sure everything below the zip-line is covered by water. Then seal the rest of the bag.

    How Can I Prevent My Bag from Floating?

    When cooking your food in the sous vide water bath, you need to keep the food completely submerged in the water. You will often find lighter items such as vegetables tend to float above the water. You can add a sous vide weight into the bag or simply use some heavy kitchen items such as a saucepan or kitchen tongs to weight it down.

    • 2 pounds steak (1-inch thick, this recipe is for tender cuts such as Sirloin Steak, Ribeye, Filet Mignon, Ribeye, T-bone, etc.)
