Why is the cooking time vary?

The beautiful thing about cooking with the sous vide technique is the longer the cook, the more tender the beef without compromising texture or temperature. The temperature of the water does not vary during the cook to a tenth of a degree so therefor the meat can not over or undercook. With a 12 hour cook time on this recipe you will have a delicious beef burgundy!

Full of flavor, wonderful texture and the meat is not over done.

By the time you get to the 72 hour mark, the meat will practically fall apart on your fork but will definitely melt in your mouth. All the flavors have infused into every bit of the seared beef and you will have a symphony of flavors in every inch.

New to sous vide? I explain in simple terms everything I know about sous vide cooking.

Should the bag be open or sealed before sous viding?

Here is my thoughts on this. If you are making the sous vide beef burgundy today leave the bag open. There are a few more steps to closing the bag with out making a huge mess and I would avoid doing this if possible. BUT that being said, if you were to make multiple batches for the freezer, or portioning it out for smaller meals, I would seal the bags with a vacum sealer.

How do you vacuum seal the beef burgundy bags for freezing?

Glad you asked how to vacuum seal the beef burgundy bags for freezing. There are 2 methods you could utilize to seal your bags. First is the freeze and seal method. Stand your filled vac and seal bag in a freezer save container so that it does not tip over, spilling the contents. Once frozen, place the open end of the bag in the vacuum sealer, remove the air and seal.

Second method is the wet seal method. I don’t know if that is the correct name but that is what I am calling it. Place your vac and seal on a flat surface and your filled bag in front of it. Slowly and carefully, while holding onto the open part of the bag, lay the bag down allowing the air to be removed.

Carefully lay the end of the bag in the van and seal, sealing twice. If using this method you need to be sure that there is at least 4 inches of extra bag at the top to ensure minimal spillage.

Why did you brown the beef before placing it in the sous vide bag?

By browning the beef before you place it in the sous vide bag it gives the beef a layer of texture of a traditional beef burgundy plus that caramelized beef will give off its flavor profile into the rest of the recipe. Color equals flavor!

What do you sever with sous vide beef burgundy?

I like to serve this recipe of sous vide beef burgundy over a wide noodle such as a pappardelle or a fluted noodle such as campanelle. Both hold the sauce well. Another alternative to pasta is to serve beef burgundy over a creamy risotto or a cheesy, creamy polenta. Be sure to save a few glasses of the red wine you used to make the beef burgundy to serve alongside this beautiful dish.

Can sous vide beef burgundy be made on the stove top?

You can definitely make this beef burgundy recipe on the stove top. I have make it but I did notice that the meat was not as tender as when I did the temperature control of the sous vide. I tried to pass it off to my husband to see what he had to say. He doesn’t notice much but he did tell me that it was tougher than the last time I made it. A ha! that is because I cooked THIS version on the stovetop.

Stove Top Beef Burgundy

Toss the cubed meat in the flour and salt.
Drizzle 2 tablespoons olive oil into Dutch oven over medium/high heat. Add beef to the Dutch oven and brown.
Once browned, remove and place on a clean plate.
Add additional 4 tablespoons of olive oil to the pan and brown the mushrooms and onions.
Once the mushrooms and onions are sautéed and take on color, add the garlic, rosemary, bay leaves and tomato paste.
Stir to cook the garlic and warm the tomato paste.
Add 1 cup of red wine to the hot pan to deglaze the pan. Be sure to scrap the bottom and edges to loosen the browned bits.
Add the browned beef back into the Dutch oven.
Add the additional 2 cups of red wine and the 1 cup of beef stock to the pot.
Cover and cook over medium heat for 4 hours.
Remove bay leaves.
Serve over your choice of pasta.

How do you reheat beef burgundy?

I suggest reheating your sous vide been burgundy with the sous vide circulator.

Place your serving of beef burgundy in a zip top bag and with the bag open, submerge the bag allowing the pressure of the water to force the air out of the bag.
Clip the bag to the side of the container.
Set your sous vide to 130.
Once the water comes to temp, reheat the beef burgundy for 10-15 minutes.
