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

  1. 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.
  2. Step 2 Adjust the Anova Sous Vide Precision Cooker to maintain a temperature of 130°F (54°C).
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Finishing Steps
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
