Title: The Christmas Roast Sous Vide Style
Post by: Whitpirate on December 23, 2016, 10:13:58 PM
I got asked to detail my sous vide Christmas Roast by a few people so I'm starting now since I'm doing a 24 hour cook.  I've got a boneless leg of lamb in also for the Seahawks game tomorrow to be sliced into sandwiches. 

Both proteins are locally-grown, grass-fed. 

Lamb is 5.2lbs boneless and wrapped.

Rib Roast is 6.8lbs trussed.  Choice not prime grade (hence the 24 hour cook.)

I'm going to photo-blog it in comments and eventually have it all here in one TL/DR what time is dinner post.

Seasoning is all salt, garlic, rosemary and some Montreal seasoning in the bag with olive oil and butter.  I will be using a whipped egg white foam to put a heavy seasoned crust on it in a 475 degree oven about 20 minutes before starting to plate.


Step One:  Sear on medium high heat with a good amount of olive oil about 3-4 min a side.

Step Two:  Rotate and get all sides to a golden brown.

Step Three:  Toss herbs and garlic (I clipped ends and left skins on, along with a good pat of butter.  Get them hot but try not to burn.  (Burner off).

Step 4:  Bag and seal if you have a vacuum sealer (I love my VP215) and make sure it is sealed well.  You can use a Ziploc as well to about 148 degrees.

Step 5:  Your sous vide water should be at temperature before you put your protein in.  I'm setting mine to 131 degrees.

Step 6:  Place food so bag is covered.  Use a weight of necessary to hold down (I will rotate bag every 8 hours.)

Step 7:  Start timer, clean kitchen and have a  beverage.


8.  Remove from bags.  Allow to rest while you work on the au jous.

8.  Reduce bag contents to mostly dry, then de-glaze with some wine, add stock, then strain and season.

9.  Whip two to three egg whites into a soft foam that looks like shaving cream.

10.  Coat the roast liberally and season with your favorite rub.

It's warm water, heats all the way through without overcooking.
