Ingredients

  • – 1 pound (454 g) fresh Brussels sprouts
  • – 1 tablespoon (15 ml) grainy Dijon mustard
  • – 2 tablespoons (30 ml) apple juice
  • – 1 garlic clove, minced
  • – 1 teaspoon (5 ml) smoked paprika
  • – 1 teaspoon (5 ml) salt
  • – 1/4 teaspoon (1 ml) black pepper
  • – 1 tablespoon (15 ml) beef fat or any fat/oil
  • – 1 tablespoon (15 ml) avocado oil for searing
  • – 2 pieces cooked crumbled beef bacon for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare a sous vide bath by setting the temperature to 185°F.
  2. Mix the Brussels sprouts with the grainy Dijon mustard, apple juice, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and beef fat in a bowl, ensuring each sprout is well coated.
  3. Transfer the coated Brussels sprouts into a vacuum-sealable bag or a ziplock freezer bag if you prefer using the water displacement technique. (This technique is recommended because the bag may float due to gases released from the sprouts. Instead of adding weight, open a corner of the ziplock to release excess air and then reseal.)
  4. Submerge the bag in the sous vide water bath and cook for 45 minutes.
  5. In a nonstick or cast iron pan, heat the avocado oil over medium-high heat.
  6. Pour the contents of the bag into the pan and brown the Brussels sprouts for 2-3 minutes on each side until they develop a light caramelization.
  7. Serve without delay, garnished with crumbled beef bacon.

Notes

  • Add a splash of balsamic vinegar or honey for extra flavor.
  • Pat dry Brussels sprouts before coating for a nice sear.
  • Substitute beef fat with butter or olive oil for a tasty twist.
