Turbo Eye Fillet

Instructions

• 1Place the Joule Turbo Sous Vide inside a pot or large vessel (max 8 litres) and place on a trivet. Fill with cool tap water until approximately halfway between the minimum and maximum fill lines and keep the pot uncovered.
  Tip: A trivet will protect your benchtop from direct contact with the hot pot or vessel.
• 2Place the steak(s) in a microwave-safe, zip-lock freezer bag. Sprinkle with salt and add the oil. If cooking 2 pieces, place flat, in the bag side by side. If cooking more, use multiple bags. 
  Tip: You can substitute the oil for any flavoured oil or butter. Also feel free to add your favourite herbs, spices or dry rub.
• 3In Breville+, press Set Time & Temp at the bottom of the screen and follow the prompts to customise the cooking of your fillet(s). Once set, lower the bag into the water against the side of the pot, while using a spatula to push it three-quarters of the way down. This will remove the air and ensures it does not float. Seal the bag and Start Turbo. 
• 4When the timer signals that the steak is done, heat a cast iron skillet or heavy-based frying pan over high heat. Carefully remove the bag from the water. Place the steak(s) on a paper towel lined cooling rack set over a tray and pat dry. 
• 5Only when the pan starts to smoke (this will prevent overcooking and sticking), add 1 tablespoon of oil and sear the steak(s) for 30 seconds on each side. Transfer the steak(s) to a cooling rack set over a tray and rest for 1 minute. Repeat as necessary to cook all the steaks. 
  Tip: For extra flavour and colour, you can add a knob of butter and baste the steak(s) while searing.
• 6Transfer to a chopping board or serving plate and sprinkle with sea salt and freshly ground pepper.
