Delicious Sous Vide Steak with Sweet Eggplant
Chef Brainy
What Started it all:
Steak, Eggplant, sugar, sous vide

This vibrant dish brings together succulent steak and sweet, roasted eggplant, all cooked to perfection using the sous vide method. It's a fantastic way to enjoy fresh ingredients while cooking together as a family. Let’s get started!

Ingredients

  • 4 ribeye steaks (about 1 inch thick)
  • 2 medium eggplants, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh herbs (like thyme or rosemary), for seasoning
  • Olive oil, for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Season the ribeye steaks generously with salt and pepper. Place each steak in a vacuum-seal bag with a sprig of fresh herbs. Seal the bags using a vacuum sealer.
  2. Fill a large pot with water and set your sous vide immersion circulator to 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare. Once the water reaches the desired temperature, submerge the sealed steak bags and cook for 2 hours.
  3. While the steak is cooking, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the eggplant slices on a baking sheet and sprinkle with brown sugar, salt, and a drizzle of olive oil. Toss to combine.
  4. Roast the eggplant in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are caramelized and tender.
  5. Once the steaks have cooked in the sous vide, remove them from the bags and pat them dry with paper towels. Heat a skillet over high heat and add a splash of olive oil. Sear the steaks for about 1-2 minutes on each side until they develop a beautiful crust.
  6. Slice the steaks against the grain and serve alongside the roasted eggplant. Drizzle with a bit more olive oil and sprinkle with fresh herbs for a pop of flavor.

This dish is not just a meal; it’s an experience! Enjoy the juicy steak and sweet eggplant together, and make sure to share stories and laughter around the table. Happy cooking!
