Preparation method

Tenderloin

Cut the tenderloin into 4 equal pieces and vacuum seal with the herbs (a sprig of rosemary and thyme per bag). Place in a sous vide water bath at 54 °C or according to personal preference, for your favorite cooking you can consult this page: sous vide steak temperatures .

After 40 minutes of cooking (medium rare), heat a frying pan almost to smoking point. Remove the meat from the bag, pat it dry with kitchen paper and sear briefly on both sides without fat. Drizzle with a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

Carrots

Peel the carrots and cut them into sticks with a diameter of half a centimeter. Vacuum all the ingredients together in a bag and boil them in a water bath at 85° C for 45 minutes.
Place the carrots in a frying pan and heat. Let the liquid boil quickly and glaze the carrots. Add some extra salt to taste.

Potatoes

Wash the potatoes thoroughly and cut them unpeeled into four parts. Vacuum the potatoes in a bag with water, salt and rosemary. Cook them for 60 minutes at 85° C in the sous vide water bath and remove them from the bag. Drain the water and fry them in a pan with olive oil until golden brown. If desired, add the rosemary and some extra salt.

We recommend serving this dish with a dark gravy or with a knob of herb butter.
