Sous vide

HerbcoFood said in Sous vide:
I have no idea if this has been discussed before, but I am actually going to fire up the sous vide tonight. I began to ponder about when to season here lately. I usually have been seasoning when I bag it to cook and then seasoning again prior to searing. Has anyone done a side by side taste test of doing the process I just described vs. not seasoning prior to cook and ONLY seasoning just prior to searing?
I have done the seasoning before and after and the winner is… depends on which seasoning!
Salt definitely before bagging. Pepper either way. Herbs like thyme and rosemary before bagging. Garlic I prefer after. Butter or oil ONLY with confit.
Dr_Pain Loved your approach to “well, depends on the seasoning”. You know that “recipe cooks” will get totally frustrated with that answer. I just smiled because you’re 100% correct.

The way I usually approach it (pork, chicken and beef) is this way:
- Do I want the seasoning to permeate (and possibly alter the taste) OR do I want it as an accent?
Most often dry brine my steaks because I love the flavor enhancement to be throughout, so using the sousvide helps accelerate and most consistently will enhance the whole steak. On the other hand I like a dry tellicherry pepper grind to sit on top of the steak to offer the floral accent. There are certain proteins that I want to change the taste (like pork and chicken) so I usually throw a whole bunch in the bag to change the flavor profile.

It was just a bit warm outside. So, I decided to mix it up and grab from the Basil plant outside and sous vide a nice piece of salmon inside. Initially, I salted the salmon and left it in the fridge to firm up for an hour. Then, created a complex butter with basil, garlic and amish rolled butter. Slathered it all over the Salmon and sous vide it at 130 for 45 mins. Love it when a plan comes together.
