Turbo Ribeye with Spice Rub and Onion Frites

Instructions

• 1Combine the garlic, ginger, coriander, cumin, cardamom, cinnamon, chili, turmeric and salt in a small bowl. Add the oil and mix well to combine. Smear the spice rub all over the steaks. Place the steaks flat, side by side, in a microwave-safe, zipper-lock freezer bag with the longest edge running along the base of the bag. Refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight.
• 2Place the Joule™ Turbo Sous Vide inside a pot or large vessel (max 8 quarts) 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 countertop from direct contact with the hot pot or vessel.
• 3In Breville+, press Set Time & Temp at the bottom of the screen and follow the prompts to customize the cooking of your steak. 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, then continue to the next step.
• 4To make the cucumber salad, place the vinegar, sugar and salt in a medium bowl and whisk to combine. Add the shallots and allow to pickle. Trim the ends of the cucumbers, then peel and halve lengthwise. Using a small spoon, remove the seeds, then cut on the diagonal into ½ -inch thick slices. Add to the pickle and set aside until serving.
• 5Trim the top and bottom of the onion and cut into quarters. Remove the central core of each quarter and cut into ½ -inch thick wedges, then separate the onion into ‘petals’.
• 6Combine the flour, coriander, cumin, chili and salt in a large bowl and mix to combine. Place the egg and milk in a separate bowl and whisk to combine.
• 7When there’s approximately 15 minutes remaining on the sous vide timer, fill a deep fryer or large pot, a third full with a neutral flavored oil and preheat to 356°F. Add the onion to the flour mixture and toss to coat. Add to the egg mixture to coat, then return to the flour mixture. Deep fry the onion for a few minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a large paper towel lined plate to drain.
• 8When the timer signals that the steaks are done, heat a large cast iron skillet or heavy-based frying pan over medium heat. Carefully remove the bag from the water. Place the steaks on a paper towel lined cooling rack set over a tray and pat dry.
• 9Only when the pan starts to smoke (this will prevent overcooking and sticking), add the oil and sear the steaks for 30 seconds on each side. Transfer the steaks to a cooling rack set over a tray and rest for 1 minute.
• 10Fold the mint and cilantro through the cucumber salad.
• 11Transfer the sliced steaks to a plate and serve with the onion ‘frites’ and the pickled cucumber salad.
