Year 3 - Day 172 - June 20

I know what you are thinking. "Is that meat floating in water in an ice chest?"

Why yes, yes it is.

My brother is here for a couple days and did this with his friends. It sounded so hilarious that we had to try. And we just so happened to have a few steaks in the freezer. It's called Sous-Vide cooking. You put the meat in a vacuum sealed package (like the freezer vacuum things - or in our case, ziplock bags with the air out) and then put it in hot hot water for a certain amount of time. Then you finish them off on a super hot grill, just searing them quickly on both sides. They did come out amazingly good.

Here's a website that gives the basic gist of what we did.
