Over last weekend I grabbed a pack of those "petite sirloin" steaks from the used meat bin. I like them because they are a smaller size steak, but they can be pretty chewy, so I like to sous vide them. I vacuum sealed them and put them in the water bath at 130/4-5 hours, kept two out for dinner and chilled and froze the rest.
Last evening we had a nice steak dinner. I made cauliflower mash, a little tomato salad with grape tomatoes, feta and basil, and some of those skinny little asparagus. My steak topping was garlic, onion, green onion, mushrooms, chopped bacon, red wine, a bit of beef stock, a dash of Worchestershire, fish sauce, a glug of steak sauce and the bag drippings. I make my steak topping in the cast iron pan I used to sear the steaks, don't want to waste any of that good stuff. I didn't take a picture of the steak after it was cut but they came out a nice medium rare and tender.

Every breath you take is bad for the environment, Brucey.
You use up valuable oxygen and exhale Co2 which is causing global
warming. I'm sure you don't own any cars. Nicely, you and your
wife walk or ride bikes.
Did all the anti-meat ngs fade out?
Accept all people and quit acting like a born again christian or
vegetarian. Humans of all kind are the problem. Deal with it.
Go ahead and throw me another cheap shot. I'll allow you the last
word. I will try my best to ignore your nonsense from now on.
Hard to do but I will try.

car but he still owns "Baby 2" - his gas guzzling backup vehicle.
Bruce is anti-mammal meat (limited) but he eats seafood that also
burns earths resources for the boats to go out and catch the
food. He also drives a car and feeds his cat meat. No one that
eats anything he doesn't approve of get critisized. I guess he
knows best for all, eh?
Then there is Dsi1 and his constant racist personal problems with
others.
Bottom line... all 3 are hypocrites in their own personal way.
That would be fine with me except that all three of them like to
preach to others here. It's a "Let those without sin throw the
first stone" thing.

difference. I grew up on mashed potatoes and when I ate the first
forkful of cauliflower it was very off putting to me. May have just
been expectations.
It was not bad, but it was not potatoes either. Maybe I'll try your

most any vessel would do and they did highly recommend getting as much air
out of the plastic bag and they said cooking oil worked extremely well for
displacing the air. Also, to cover your vessel with plastic wrap or a lid
to discourage evaporation.

Sous vides? <big groan>
That translates to "under vacuums". You can't cook anything "in a
sous vide" and ere are no devices called "sous vide".
They cooked them in a water bath using an immersion circulator.
And THIS is exactly why we need a new word/term for "sous vide", but
people think *I'm* crazy <grumble>.

than flour. People that tried them said they were good. huh huh -
