Kids Class Day 3 

All Things Steak, Steak Sandwich, Steak Fried Rice, Sous Vide, Reverse Sear

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Steaks:
    • Remove the steaks from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for about 20 minutes. Season both sides of the steaks generously. Using your Spade L. Ranch, White Lighting, OTF Brisket Rub. 
  2. Preheat the Smoker:
    • Preheat your smoker or oven to 275F
  3. Load your Smoker:
    • Place the steaks directly on the smoker grate. Smoke the steaks until they reach an internal temperature of about 10-15°F before your desired doneness:
      • For medium-rare: 115-120°F
      • For medium: 125-130°F
      • This usually takes about 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the thickness of the steaks.
  4. Prepare for Searing:
    • You are now ready to sear anyway you’d like too! You can use a hot cast iron pan with some butter or beef tallow. You can use a gas grill or charcoal grill. The most important part about searing steaks is the temperature. You want your grill temperature to be between 550-650.
  5. Searing
    • Sear the steaks for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until a rich, golden-brown crust forms. You can also sear the edges for about 30 seconds each. 
  6. Rest and Serve:
    • Let the steaks for 10 minutes. This ensures they are juicy and tender.

 

Sous Vide Method

Ingredients:

  • 1 ribeye (1 to 1.5 inches thick)
  • 1st Spade L. Ranch Beef Marinade
  • 2nd Boars Night Out White Lighting
  • 3rd OTF Brisket Run

Equipment:

  • Sous vide machine
  • Large pot or container for water bath
  • Large pot with Ice and water to cool steak when they come off (5 minutes)
  • Vacuum sealer or zip-lock freezer bag
  • Skillet or grill for searing

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Steak:
    • Season the steak in order with Spade L. Ranch, White Lighting, and OTF Brisket Rub.
  2. Bag the Steak:
    • Place the steak in a vacuum-seal bag or zip-lock freezer bag.
    • If using a vacuum sealer, seal the bag. If using a zip-lock bag, use the water displacement method: seal the bag most of the way, then slowly lower it into the water bath, allowing the water pressure to push the air out before sealing it completely.
  3. Preheat the Sous Vide Machine:
    • Fill a large pot or container with water and attach your sous vide machine.
    • Set the temperature to your desired doneness:
      • Medium-Rare: 130°F 
      • Medium: 135°F 
  4. Cook the Steak:
    • Once the water reaches the target temperature, place the bagged steak in the water bath.
    • Cook for 1 to 3 hours. For a typical 1 inch thick steak, 1.5 to 2 hours is usually sufficient.
  5. Finish the Steak:
    • Take your bagged steak out of your hot water and dunk it in the ice bath for 5 minutes. 
    • Remove the steak from the bag and pat it dry with paper towels. This step is crucial for achieving a good sear.
    • Heat a skillet over high heat until it’s very hot. Add a tablespoon of butter or olive oil. Sear the steak for about 30-60 seconds on each side, just until a crust forms. 

Serve:

  • Let the steak rest for a minimum of 10 minutes
  • Ask for parental permission to slice your steak, against the grain!

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Ingredients:
    • Cook your rice a day ahead or cook your rice and place it in the refrigerator until it has cooled down completely. If you use fresh cooked rice or the rice is not cold, your stir fry could be mushy.

    • Mix your sauce and rice together. Make sure not to squish or crush the rice when mixing it together, be gentle with it. 
    • After your rice is mixed well with your sauce, mix in your vegetables and place to the side of your griddle. 
    • ***** If you don’t have a griddle, that’s okay! You can do this in individual steps using a pan. You can cook the vegetables first in your pan, set aside. Then cook your rice and sauce.*****
  4. Cook the Eggs:
    • Add some butter to your griddle and crack your eggs right onto the griddle! Scramble your eggs and a pinch of salt once they’re cooked.
