Ingredients
Scale
4 cups (960 ml) water
1/4 cup (60 ml) sea salt
2 (340 g) skin-on beef filets
1 tsp (5 ml) smoked sea salt
1 tsp (5 ml) smoked black peppercorns, ground
1 tsp (5 ml) light brown sugar
1 tbsp (15 ml) liquid smoke
Instructions
Step 1 Combine the sea salt with the cold water and stir until fully mixed. Submerge the beef filets and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes to an hour.
Step 2 Adjust the Anova Sous Vide Precision Cooker to maintain a temperature of 130°F (54°C).
Step 3 Take the beef filets out of the brine, rinse under cold water, and pat them dry. Season them with smoked sea salt, ground smoked peppercorns, and light brown sugar.
Step 4 Place the seasoned beef filets into a large resealable bag or vacuum-seal pouch along with the liquid smoke. Seal the bag using either the water displacement method or a vacuum sealer set to the moist mode.
Finishing Steps
Step 0 Once the time is up, take the pouch out of the water bath. Carefully remove the beef filets from the bag and arrange them on a wire rack placed over a rimmed baking sheet. Preheat the broiler to its highest setting.
Step 1 Broil the beef filets until the exterior is crisp and golden brown, approximately 5 minutes. Serve and enjoy.
Notes
Make sure to rinse the salmon fillets thoroughly after brining to remove excess salt.
Pat the salmon fillets dry before seasoning to ensure a nice crust forms during smoking.
Use a wire rack over a baking sheet to allow air circulation while smoking for a crispy exterior.
