How to Sous Vide Beef Sausage

Sous vide beef sausage always turns out tender, moist, and cooked perfectly.

The sausage is first sous vided long enough to pasteurize it, typically 2 to 3 hours. It can be cooked at many different temperatures, usually ranging from 131°F to 140°F (55.0°C to 60°C), depending on what your preference is. I usually cook mine at 131°F (60°C) to keep it super moist. It also gives me a little longer to sear the outside to ensure the casing is no longer chewy.

Once it is sous vided, it is then seared enough to crisp up the casing. Most sausages really need a sear, otherwise the casing will stay chewy and unappetizing.

Sous Vide Cassoulet Recipe

According to local wisdom, a last-minute cassoulet is "catastrophic." Cassoulet should be cooked, then cooled, preferably overnight, then cooked and cooled again -- at least three times. Multiple slow simmering's allow the beans to absorb the rich flavors of the sausage and duck confit until they become velvety and plush while still maintaining their shape and integrity. This recipe is ideally made over the course of three to four days, so you'll need to plan ahead.

Sous Vide Sausage with Roasted Peppers and Cucumber Salad Recipe

Sausages are one of my favorite things to sous vide because they end up so much juicier than when I cook them traditionally. I like to finish them off with a quick sear on the grill, and while I'm there I'll often grill up some vegetables. For this recipe, I use mixed bell peppers that I put a hard sear on. I combine the sausage and the peppers with a simple cucumber salad for a flavorful, tasty meal!

Sous Vide Beef Sausage with Roasted Cauliflower Salad Recipe

There are many types of beef sausage, and while I do love pork and Italian sausage, sometimes I want a change.

I think sous vide beef sausage is the perfect summer meal, particularly when finished on the grill.

I really like rich Italian sausage paired with a sweet and spicy maple-acorn squash puree. This recipe adds some heat with some chipotle powder and lightens the puree by incorporating some milk. Fun meal for a casual dinner with friends!

Sous Vide Beer Brat Grinders with Guinness Mustard

Beer braised brats are a great summertime BBQ dish. I really like it served with a strongly flavored Guinness mustard on a toasted bun with grilled peppers and onions. Since the grill is already hot from the veggies, finish the brats with a quick sear to caramelize the outside and enjoy!

Growing up my family didn't eat many sausage dishes. Since I've been with my wife that has changed and sausage is a big part of our meals.
