Burgers Sous Vide

Ingredients

  • 2-ish lbs Ground beef: Alton Brown calls for equal portions ground chuck and ground sirloin. If I'm feeling lazy, I'll just pull two bricks of Costco frozen organic ground beef out of the freezer and call it good.
  • Spices. Pick one or more of the following
    • Salt
    • Montreal Steak Seasoning
    • Tony Chachere's Seasoning
    • Maybe a diced jalapino or two?
    • 2 tsp of Marmite
    • Anchovie paste
  • Eight zip top sandwich bags

Procedure

  • Mix up ground beef and spices in a bowl
  • Divide the beef up into eight roughly-equal-sized chunks
  • Form into patties, approximately palm sized. They'll swell up in the middle during the cook, so make them thinner in the middle.
  • Place into bags, and seal using the immersion method.

Apply Heat

  • Cook sous vide at 135 degrees farenheit for 1-4 hours
  • Sear on a hot stovetop or grill, no more than 1 minute per side

Remove Heat

  • Chill uneaten burgers, in bag, using an ice bath
  • Store in a refrigerator. I've seen patties keep for two weeks.
