Sous Vide Beef Wellington

One of my first few foodie experiences was eating at Gordon Ramsay’s STEAK restaurant in Las Vegas back in 2012. He is famous for his Beef Wellington, served medium rare with some mashed potatoes. It was delicious! I wanted to remake it and on our first attempt, using the oven, it was completely brown inside. FAIL! But Anova saves the day! Total success and no guessing game anymore. This once intimidating recipe is dead simple with Anova.

As a nursing student, Bea admits that studying takes up the bulk of her time, and cooking at home can be difficult for her to fit into her routine. With Anova, it’s easy for her to get her work done and still enjoy quality, home-cooked meals. She sets up Anova, drops her food in the water bath, and has her dinner going in minutes, giving her time to dives into her studies while her food cooks.
