Sous Vide Grass Fed Beef Burgers
Sous viding burgers is a great way to get burgers EXACTLY how you want them. No more poking, prodding, and second guessing yourself. You want it medium rare – just cook them at 130-132F. It’s that simple!
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef grass fed
- Diamond Crystal kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons bacon grease
Instructions
- Divide the grass fed ground beef into 4 portions and gently form them into patties. I season both sides generously with salt and pepper. (Tip: I didn’t mix in the seasoning because I didn’t want to overwork the meat. Too much manhandling can lead to tough pucks.)
- Place the seasoned burgers on top of a plastic-wrapped plate and cover the plate with another sheet of plastic wrap. (Tip: If you don’t line your plate with plastic wrap first, it’ll be difficult to remove the frozen patties.)
- Put the plate in the freezer and freeze the patties for at least 2 hours.
- Once the patties are frozen, vacuum seal each patty and store them in the fridge until you're ready to cook them.
- Heat the SousVide Supreme to 132°F and dunk in the burger packets. Burgers take at least 30 minutes to cook but you can leave them in the water for up to 12 hours.
- When the burgers are finished cooking, take them out of their packets and dry them with paper towels.
- Heat a couple tablespoons of bacon grease in a large cast iron skillet and sear each side for about a minute.
- Put the burgers on a wire rack on top of a foil-lined baking sheet and use your kitchen torch to even out the browned bits.
- Top the burgers with your favorite toppings and serve them over salad greens!
