SOUS VIDE BLADE ROAST WITH AU JUS

Steps:

• Place a heat-resistant pad underneath a large pot filled with warm water. Attach a sous vide precision cooker to the pot and set temperature to 135 degrees F (57°C). Set the timer to 24 hours.
• Remove all surface fat and silver skin from the roast. Truss the roast and generously season with salt and pepper on all sides.
• Place the roast in a large resealable bag and remove all the air with a vacuum sealer. Place bag in the pot once the right temperature is reached, making sure it is completely submerged. Cover pot with plastic wrap to ensure the water doesn't evaporate.
• Combine olive oil, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon pepper, thyme, and parsley in a small bowl 1 hour before the timer goes off.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) 20 minutes before the timer goes off. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Remove the bag from the pot and transfer to a plate. Remove roast and pat dry using paper towels to remove as much moisture as possible. Place the roast on the prepared baking sheet and cover with olive oil mixture.
• Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
• While the roast is in the oven, combine water, beef base, soy sauce, and garlic granules in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a soft boil, then reduce heat, and simmer until sauce is reduced, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Remove roast from the oven, cover with foil, and let rest for 10 minutes.
• Slice roast and place on a platter. Drizzle au jus on top or serve sauce separately.

SOUS VIDE EYE OF ROUND

Steps:

• Mix together salt, garlic granules, onion powder, and pepper in a small bowl.
• Trim and discard any fat from roast. Rub the roast with enough Worcestershire sauce to coat. Rub seasoning mixture over the entire surface of the roast.
• Place seasoned roast into a vacuum bag and seal using a vacuum sealer. Immerse the bag in a heat-proof container of water with a sous vide cooker. Set temperature to 134 degrees F (57 degrees C); cook for 18 hours. Wrap the top of the pot with plastic wrap; this will help retain water.
• When the time is up, remove roast from the bag and pat completely dry with paper towels.
• Heat 2 tablespoons avocado oil in a large skillet over high heat until it shimmers. Add roast and sear until evenly browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side, adding more avocado oil if necessary.
• Move the roast to a serving dish and serve.
