New to sous vide cooking? Suvie makes it easy to cook anything to precisely the right temperature without the risk of under or over cooking. Choose from juicy rib eye steaks to tender shrimp lettuce wraps to smoky sweet tofu. The sky’s the limit when cooking sous vide, so use this list to help you become a master.
1) Sous Vide Rib Eye Steaks with Sweet Green Peas
Sweet peas and a creamy, punchy mustard sauce are the perfect additions to decadent ribeye steaks. We sous vide the steaks until perfectly medium-rare and then sear on the stovetop for a deep mahogany finish. We like our steaks medium-rare, but if you’d prefer a different level of doneness, check out our temperature guide to find the settings that work for you.
2) Sous Vide Leg of Lamb with Herb Sauce
Lamb leg makes a spectacular centerpiece for any festive occasion. We sous vide the lamb until perfectly medium-rare and then sear it until golden brown. The lamb is served with a flavorful herb sauce consisting of coriander, cumin, red pepper flakes, and plenty of vinegar to contrast with the gamey meat.
3) Peaches and Pork Chops
This easy, weeknight recipe is a summery twist on the classic pairing of pork chops and apples. First, we sous vide the pork in our Suvie until perfectly cooked and juicy. Then, we sear the pork in a hot skillet to develop a deep crust on the exterior. Finally, we sear the peaches with shallot in the skillet to concentrate the fruit’s sugar and absorb some of the meaty flavors left in the pan.
4) Shrimp Lettuce Wraps
Crunchy, fresh, and vibrant, these shrimp lettuce cups are easy to make with store-bought teriyaki sauce. First the shrimp is sous vide and then broiled with the teriyaki sauce to caramelize the sugars in the sauce for extra flavor. A mix of herbs adds bright verdancy and cucumber and peanuts add crunch.
5) Make it Your Way Egg Bites
This dead simple egg bite recipe allows you to customize your egg bites to your heart’s content. The key is to not go overboard with ingredients to avoid overfilling. Sausage, bacon, scallions, chives, or roasted vegetables would all make great fillings. Mix and match as you see fit.
6) Chicken Cordon Bleu
It’s no surprise that chicken cordon bleu is a classic dish with staying power; who could resist perfectly cooked chicken filled with melted cheese and ham, and topped with crispy, crunchy bread crumbs? No wonder diners across the world have been enjoying this preparation for nearly eighty years.
7) Sous Vide Sweet Potatoes
Starchy vegetables like sweet potatoes need high heat to soften. With sous vide you get tender, creamy sweet potatoes from edge to interior. We season these sweet potatoes simply with herbs, but use this recipe as a springboard for new creations; shaved parmesan, sunflower seeds, or tahini would also make great toppings.
8) Spice Seared Pork Chops
These spiced, seared pork chops go well with a variety of side dishes, making them a versatile main course. We first sous vide the pork chops until uniformly cooked on the inside before searing them in a ripping-hot pan to develop a flavorful crust on the outside. A simple rub of cumin and chili powder adds an extra layer of flavor to these savory chops.
9) Chicken Souvlaki with Tzatziki
Souvlaki is a popular street food in Greece where marinated meat is grilled on a skewer. We’ve opted to forgo the grill and use Suvie to cook chicken in this recipe. The chicken is marinated in olive oil and spices, and then sous vide to perfection.
10 Sous Vide Sweet & Smoky Tofu
Use this recipe as a template to make any variety of sous vide tofu. All you need is a package of firm tofu and a sauce of your choosing. Try barbeque, hoisin, teriyaki, or curry sauce – the sky’s the limit! Cooking tofu sous vide with sauce means the tofu gets to marinate and cook at the same time, resulting in highly flavorful tofu.
