Frozen Steak

Anova Culinary

• Forgot to thaw your meat?! Just got home and don’t have anything to cook? Are the kids being annoying? • No problem, just add and extra 30 minutes! In this recipe, I’m using a ribeye cut. However, the temp and time will work for all normal size steaks (1-2”)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Heat to 129*F
  2. Retrieve frozen steak from freezer. Keep in Ziploc freezer bag or vacuum sealed packaging. 
  3. Place steak directly in water.
  4. Take out of water after 1 hour and 20 minutes. Steak is fully cooked at this point

Finishing Steps

  1. Dry steak with paper towels and season to your preference. (I prefer to season with just salt and pepper.)
  2. Preheat pan (or grill) on high just before searing steak.
  3. Briefly sear steak on both sides. It’s ok to sear any fatty areas a little longer. If pan searing, use a high temp oil. For its flavor, I prefer to use clarified butter which has a smoke point around ~500°F. However, oils such as avocado (~520°F) and canola (~450°F) will do just fine. Remember: The steak is already fully cooked. Searing is mostly for visual presentation (e.g color, grill marks, etc.)
  4. Serve immediately with your vegetable of choice!
