Sous Vide Chuck Steak Recipe with Asparagus and Shishito Peppers

I'm a huge fan of steak, but sometimes I don't want to kill myself with a really heavy meal. Serving the steak with a lot of vegetables is a great way to lighten it up and add a lot of flavor. This sous vide chuck steak recipe combines the steak with some asparagus, cherry tomatoes and shishito peppers.

This recipe showcases how a low temperature and long cooking time can really transform a cut of meat with sous vide. Compared to a traditional chuck cooked at a high temperature, this is cooked at 131°F (55°C) for 36 to 60 hours, resulting in a meltingly tender meat that tastes similar to prime rib or ribeye.

You can follow this recipe for many other tough cuts of meat, such as short ribs, top and bottom round, or shank, just adjust the timing in-line with what is in the cooking times.

I really love how shishito peppers taste, with a mild but still spicy flavor. They don't have many seeds and are great to eat with your hands.

I'm lucky to have several great butchers in my area, but sometimes I want to up my game and will turn to Snake River Farms, they have a wide variety of beef including Prime, American Wagyu , and dry aged. I also enjoy trying the different ranchers that Crowd Cow has available including their wagyu.
