Sous Vide "Onion Soup Marinade" Beef

Prepare the roast beef

This is by far the best most tender, sous vide roast beef sandwich I have ever had. I have made this recipe many times, I normally use a top round roast, but I found this beautiful bottom round roast and could not pass it up and WOW! I will always use bottom round for this recipe now. This cut seemed to absorb more flavors during the cook in the water bath vs the top round. Also, it retained more moisture.

Start by getting your sous vide water bath ready. Set the water bath to 130 degrees for med rare. Note: If you would like a different temperature meat, please check this guide for the correct temperature. I cook my roast 5 degrees off so it does not over cook when searing. DO NOT cut any fat off. Remove the fat after it is cooked. Removing the fat now will result in a drier roast with less flavor.

Rub oil into the meat. Season your meat with salt, pepper and garlic powder on all sides rubbing the seasoning in. Place into a vacuum sealed bag, or double up a one gallon freezer bag and toss in half of the rosemary and thyme. Seal the bag using a vacuum sealer. If using freezer bags, place the meat and bag into the water assuring the opening does not go into the water. Push the bag down with a rubber or wooden spoon to release air. Zip bag shut and hang the bag over the side of your container. Make sure the meat is completely submerged in the water.

Sous vide the roast beef

Cook the roast for 24 hours. The long cook time results in a super tender roast beef sandwich. Remove from water, let cool to room temperature, about 2 hours. Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a cast iron skillet over high heat. No cast iron skillet? No problem, you can use a non stick skillet instead. Brown the roast on all sides and form a nice crust. Toss in butter, thyme, rosemary and garlic, baste all sides of the roast with the butter and herbs for about 2 minutes. Remove from heat immediately. Let rest 10 minutes on a rack. Place into the freezer for about 20 minutes. The cold will firm the meat up making it easier to slice. Using a deli slicer or sharp non serrated knife, slice meat as thin as possible and set aside.

Other ingredients

• Hawaiian hamburger buns
• Russet potato
• Vegetable oil
• Egg
• Seasame seeds
• Arugula
• Jalapeno
• Micro sprouts
• Pickled red onion
• Watermelon radish
• Sour cream
• Horseradish mustard
• Chives chopped

Make the potato chips

I use russet potatoes to make potato chips, but you can use whatever potato you would like. Using a potato peeler, peal the potato until all the skin is removed. Using either a mandolin or a potato peeler, slice the potatoes super thin forming potato chips. Sprinkle just a little salt over the top. Heat oil in a medium sauce pan to 350 degrees. Fry the potatoes until golden brown, this should only take a few minutes. Let rest on paper towels for a few minutes to absorb grease.

Make your sauce and toast buns

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a small bowl, make the egg wash. Brush the egg wash over the top and bottom of the buns evenly. Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top buns. Place on a foil lined cookie sheet egg wash side up. Bake for 15 mins or until buns start to get hard to the touch. In a small bowl, mix together the sour cream, horseradish mustard and chopped chives and mix well.

Build your roastbeef sandwich

Add sauce to both the top and bottom of the buns. Place the arugula on first onto the bottom bun. This helps prevent the juices from the meat making the bun soggy. Then place your roast beef, micro sprouts, watermelon radish, pickled red onion, jalapenos and finally the potato chips. Enjoy this delicious sous vide roast beef sandwich with chips or fries!
