Sous vide made easier than ever.

2 (6-ounce) wagyu beef patties
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 red onion, coarsely chopped
2 deli slices Gruyère cheese

Directions
-
Step 1
Set the Anova Sous Vide Precision Cooker to 143ºF (62ºC).

While the burgers are cooking, sauté the onions: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. When the oil is shimmering, add the onion. Cook until translucent and starting to brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl.

When the timer reaches about 5 minutes, heat the broiler to high.
