Sous Vide Beef with Crispy Noodles

Anova Culinary

Beef with crispy noodles is a takeaway favourite, but this is a slightly more high-end version, which uses sous vide to cook the beef to tender perfection. After being cooked at 134.6F/57 C, this steak is medium-rare. It's served alongside a nest of crispy noodles with some veggies and sauce poured over the top.

Finishing Steps
