Sous-vide is French term for “under vacuum”, a method of cooking food sealed in airtight plastic bags in a water bathor in a temperature-controlled steam environment for longer than normal cooking times for up to 96 hours, in some cases; at an accurately regulated temperature much lower than normally used for cooking, typically around 50°C (131 °F) to 60 °C (140°F) for meats and higher for vegetables. Sous vide also used to pasteurized egg, beef and other meat to made it save to be eaten raw without cooking it. I pasteurized my beef tenderloin to make Yukhoe (Raw Korean Seasoned Beef Steak Tartare with Asian Pear).

I’ve been cooked beef with sous vide method several times, mostly from lean and non prime cut. The choice or second grade of beef turn into tender, moist and delicious meat once it cooked sous vide style with rice cooker waterbath. So i think it’s obvious that beyond prime A5 Kobe beef gonna be turned out terrific once slow cooked in sous vide method. This  is actually sort of sousvide cooking using rice cooker as a heater to my waterbath, so no fancy equipments sousvide waterbath circulator and vaccum sealed pack machines involved.  Instead, this sort of sousvide method using amateur kitchen tools, eversince  i take care all the basic principles of sousvide on this recipe.

A5 Kobe Wagyu Beef with Massive Ammount Marbling fat

Since this is kobe beef is cooked in sort of-sousvide, the beef sirloin is vaccum packed with ziplock manually without any vaccum machine by simply submerged the ziplock package under water partially to pushed away the air. The ziplock package silicone seal then zipped once the air removed from the bad. This ziplock bag submerging method is quite efficient to pushed the air from the bag. Choose the heatproof and foodgrade ziplock bag with a good sealing feature, cheap ziplock bag may burst out while cooking and ruined your entire kobe beef batch.

Kobe Beef (Bottom Right) Sous Vide at 64°C with Rice Cooker Waterbath

I slowly cooked the kobe beef using my old rice cooker as a sous vide waterbath. As you can see from the photograph, my waterbath temperature was 64°C , but it’s actually fluctuated from 63 to 64°C if i  put the lid on. I adjust the temperature of the rice cooker waterbath with covering the the meatal pot, the more you cover hence the tempersture will get closer to the maximum temperature when you put the lid on. I let the kobe beef brisket sit in the rice cooker waterbath for about 1 hours, don’t get hesitate to leave it longer in the waterbath because it’s not a single chance your beef will overcooked, but definitely no further than 2 hours or it turn into mushy because the fat is totally renderred.  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 beef evenly cooked. Do not forget to submerged the vaccum packed beef sirloin completely on the waterbath during the sous vide cooking, i’m putting some glass plate for that purpose.

The verdict: the authentic japanese A5 kobe wagu beef is worth every single cent of it.

Homemade Kaffir Lime Shoyu Ponzu for Serving The Sous Vide Beef

Once the kobe beef cooked into medium well done with sous vide method, the fat of kobe beef is so fragile and easily melted even with a simple hand touch heat, if you wanna got a clear and clean cut, i suggest you to chilled the chopping board and the knives before slicing it. Carved or cut the kobe beef just before serving to prevent the beef meat dry out.

Tangy, Citrusy, Savoury Kaffir Limes with Melting Tender Sous Vide Kobe Beef, DAMN DELICIOUS!!!

My homemade ponzu is made by simmering rice vinegar, mirin, , katsuobushi (dried smoked bonito or skipjack tuna flakes), and seaweed (kombu) over medium heat. The liquid is then cooled, strained to remove the katsuobushi flakes, and finally the juice of one or more of the following citrus fruits is added; local kaffir lime called jeruk jungga. Commercial ponzu is generally sold in glass bottle, you can purchased it in any Asian-Japanese groceries store, but i guess it’ taste even better if you made it from scratch.

  24. I laughed out loud when I read about getting laid! This dish looks and sounds incredible. I’m usually not s fan of sous vide (it must be done correctly otherwise it’s a perfect spot for bacteria) because the colour of the meat is not appetizing however, your punchy colours of the garnish and the warm sauce really show up this dish. I have never had wagyu beef but I would love to try it.

    • the beef if actually cooked into medium well done to let the marbled fat rendered, so when the beef served cold the fat will be melted in the mouth, if i cooked under medium done, let’s say medium rare, the fat will not melted when chewed eventhough the reddish color will be more appetizing…..
