Calabrian Steak with Tomato and Burrata Salad

Calabria is a region of Italy, at the very tip of the ‘boot’, known for its spicy ingredients. Sous vide steak is perfectly cooked in a combination of butter, garlic, and spicy Calabrian peppers. Creamy burrata cheese, tomatoes, and baby arugula are combined for a satisfying side salad. Calabrian peppers definitely pack a punch, so feel free to modify this recipe based on your heat preferences (or substitute the more mild peppadew peppers).

1 ½ cups halved cherry tomatoes
4 oz burrata, quartered
1 tbsp red wine vinegar

Directions

1) Pat steak dry with paper towels and season all over with ½ tsp salt and ¼ tsp black pepper. Place steaks into vacuum seal bags along with ½ cup minced peppers, minced garlic, and 4 tbsp butter.

3) After the cook, remove the pan from your Suvie and drain. Remove the steaks from the vacuum bag and pour the butter, garlic, peppers mixture into a bowl, set aside.

4) Pat steaks dry thoroughly with paper towels. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add steak and sear on both sides until browned, about 30 seconds per side. Remove steaks from the skillet and set aside to rest, about 5 minutes, before slicing.
