Sous Vide Roast
Roasting is a cooking method that employs the use of dry heat or hot air to cook food. This is usually done with the use of an oven, grill or a similar source of heat which can produce at least 300°F of heat, or more. The process produces food that has been air dried. More often than not, roasted food has a browned surface resulting from the caramelization as well as the Maillard reaction that takes places. This along with the natural flavors of the meat and ingredients bring together a unique and delicious taste.
Most commonly large tender pieces of meat and vegetables are used for roasting since these react well to diffused heat. The cooking process for roast usually takes long hours and requires both attention and effort. More than this, the process of exposing ingredients to high heat can result in food that lacks moisture or has not been fully cooked all the way through, yet is done on the outside.
Sous vide roast is a good way to deal with these common problems. The process of using controlled heat along with slow cooking enables food to become properly cooked all the way through, without sacrificing any of its flavor or moisture. The technique also ensures that food becomes tender. This makes it ideal for roasting various cuts of meat and not just those which are naturally soft.
Both beef and pork roasts are usually held at a temperature of 131°F / 55°C for 1 to 2 days if a medium rare doneness is wanted. For medium doneness, it should be cooked at 140°F / 60°C for 1 to 2 days as well. Traditional well done roast beef should be held at 160°F / 71.1°C for 1 to 3 days, and well pork roast at 155°F / 68.3°C for 1 to 3 days also.
However, the sous vide process does not allow for a Maillard reaction to take place. Browning, crisping and caramelization may be achieved by finishing the sous vide roast after it has been cooked. This may be done quickly in an oven, through searing in a frying or with a hand held torch.
