I’m not sure what kind of venison cut that i’m used for this recipe since i get it from my oldest big sister and she even didn’t noticed it. My sister purchased the game deer meat from the local fresh market in Sungai Lilin, South Sumatra, but she pretty sure that the venison cut from the deer hind quarter. I notices there’s a tought sinew in the middle of the venison meat, so i assume it’s considered to cooked it as a tought cut. My grandma said this is maybe the deer venison blade steak, i couldn’t agree more because there’s a sinew in the middle of it.

If you think you can control the waterbath temperature in your rice cooker for sous vide, you’re wrong! You should notice the maximum temperature of your waterbath if you put the lid cover. Let the waterbath had a stable temperature for at least 10 minutes and note the temperature a.s.a.p before the temperature drop down slowly when you open the lid, then leave the rice cooker alone without it’s lid cover for another 20 to 30 minutes until it reached the constant temperature, note the temperature and it’s the lowest temperature of your waterbath, now you’ve got the range of your sous vide waterbath temperature. Mine was 51°C (without the lid) and 62°C (with the lid on). You can adjust the temperature to your preference in by covering the metal pot mouth with alumunium foil partially; the more you cover the pot, the temperature will be nearer to the maximum temperature. The heat source of my rice cooker is on the bottom of the metal pot, so the temperature in the bottom and the surface of the the water bath is different with about 0.5°C range, so it’s necessary to flip it every 20-30 minutes to made the sous vide steak evenly cooked. Do not forget to submerged the vaccum packed beef sirloin completely on the waterbath during the sous vide cooking, putting some weight may help.

After the venison steak sit for 36 Hours sous vide in the 56-58°C waterbath, the venison is tender and succulent. The tough membranne that passing through is translucent and completely tender too. Unfortunatly, i almost forgotten and let the sous vide venison bag sit in the refrigerator for a day due to a hectic day.
