Sous Vide Smoked Brisket with #anovafoodnerd Zach Johnston

As a food writer, former kitchen grunt, and consummate gourmand I tend to know my way around a brisket. That all changed when I got an Anova Precision Cooker. The accuracy of my cook times massively increased and I was able to actually relax while executing low and very slow cooks.

 

Over time I’ve tinkered a lot with spice rubs, marinades, and even flash brines. I’ve whittled my recipe down to the bare basics so that the meat truly shines through. I tend to hit up my local butcher for a specific cut and size. I cook for a family of four — so a 2 to 3 pound brisket generally does the trick for a Sunday dinner and then some tasty sandwiches going into the next week’s lunches. I like the get a cut of brisket that’s half lean and half streaked with plenty of fat and nice fat cap running along the whole piece. It’s not essential to track down a butcher that’ll make perfect cuts just for you. You can easily grab yourself a nice piece from your local grocery store. Once you have a nice piece of brisket, the rest is pretty straight forward with a succulent end result.

Ganze Lammkeule Sous-vide von #anovafoodnerd Frank Scholz

Ein Festmahl!

art man die Lammkeule so wie ich im Anova Sous-vide Becken, dann hat man einerseits einen ganz entspannten Abend vor sich, den man als Gastgeber mit seinen Gästen verbringen kann, und zum anderen auch noch ein Endergebnis, welches sich mit der klassischen Zubereitungsmethode so nicht erzeugen lässt. Durchgängig zart, saftig und trotzdem noch schön rosa.

Wer öfters mit mehreren Gästen feiert, der kennt das Leuchten in den Augen, wenn ein Truthahn an die Tafel getragen wird, das Spanferkel vom Grill gehoben wird, oder – wie in unserem Fall – ein, zwei ganze Lammkeulen präsentiert werden.

Auf solche Feste wird man immer wieder angesprochen. Ob es am Anblick der großen, perfekt gegarten Stücke liegt, am Wissen um den Aufwand oder an der Seltenheit solcher Momente in den heutigen Zeiten, ich weiß es nicht. Aber das Tranchieren am Tisch hinterlässt oft einen anderen, eine nachhaltigeren Eindruck als perfekt arrangierte Tellergerichte.
