Anyone know of a good pulled pork type recipe for sous vide?

So I did a blade steak at 134F for 24 hours, and it was kind of dry and I noticed there was a lot of liquid in the bag. Did I do something wrong?

You should probably not do any steaks more than a couple hours. The temp would have been fine, but over the course of 24 hours the muscle proteins kept tightening and squeezed all the moisture out, creating the paradoxically dry texture.

Extra-long cook times should only be for things like oxtail or shortribs

I read somewhere that blade steaks should be cooked longer because the meat is usually tougher?

e: Douglas Baldwin,

quote:

For tough but flavorful cuts of beef–such as top blade, chuck, and top round–season the meat and cook in a 131°F (55°C) water bath for 24–48 hours. This is the lowest temperature at which (insoluble) collagen denatures (dissolves) into gelatin, at higher temperatures the denaturing occurs more quickly (Powell et al., 2000; This, 2006).

I did a flank steak for 24 hours and it turned out amazing.



How much liquid did you end up with in your bag?

How much liquid do you guys typically have in your bags after your done? I always feel like I end up with a lot.

The liquid is also pure gold. It often has a delicious taste and usually just needs a hit of something acidic to balance it out. Try adding a dash of lemon juice to the liquid and giving it a taste. Add salt if needed. You may also need to separate out the fat.

What's the best way to go about separating the fat/protein?

Which model of the Anova is the best to buy? I don't care about the $20 price difference.

So, can anyone tell me how to use the sous vide drippings to make a sauce? There's so much gunk in it when I toss it in a pan.
