Sous Vide Steak Finished in Smoked Salt

Anova Culinary

Sous vide steak is an absolute winner. But chances are you've probably had it a fair few times by now. So here's something a bit different to your standard steak. Basically it's a normal sous vide steak but it's rubbed in smoked salt and pepper to create a smoked flavor (like it's been cooked over on open flame without actually having to do it).

 

To go all the way, serve it with my Smokey, Buttery Bacony Sous Vide Mash like in the photo above. Recipe here: http://recipes.anovaculinary.com/recipe/smoky-buttery-bacony-sous-vide-mash
