Recipe Time: 04:00

Temperature : 140F / 60C

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pounds top round steak
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1 cup beef stock
• 4 crusty hoagie rolls or demi baguettes
• 8 slices provolone cheese

Directions

1. Set the Anova Sous Vide Precision Cooker to 140°F (60°C).
2. Season the steak with salt and pepper and place in a large zipper lock or vacuum seal bag. Seal the bag using the water immersion technique or a vacuum sealer on the dry setting. Place the bag in the water bath and set the timer for 4 hours.

Finishing Steps

1. When the timer goes off, remove the bag from the water bath. Remove the steak from the bag. Let cool to room temperature and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Reserve cooking liquid.
2. Using a meat slicer or sharp carving knife, thinly slice the steak.
3. In a large saucepan, bring the beef stock and reserved cooking liquid to a simmer. Add the sliced roast beef and simmer until heated through, about 2 minutes.
4. Toast the rolls. Top each roll with one quarter of the steak and two slices of cheese. Serve with the hot beef stock mixture on the side for dipping.
