How to make Sous Vide Burger Recipe - A sous vide bath provides one solution. This method cooks meat to exact temperature specifications from the inside out.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 pounds (680 g) beef chuck or ground chuck
1/2 teaspoon (2.5 g) kosher salt, plus more to taste
Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
Vegetable oil, for cooking
4 Katie’s Burger Buns, toasted and buttered
Special Sauce (recipe follows)
Fifth Dimension Powder, optional
Caramelized Onions (page 158), optional
Iceberg lettuce, for garnish
SPECIAL EQUIPMENT:
Vacuum sealer; sous vide water oven
Method:
If grinding, cut the beef into strips and freeze until stiff, about 45 minutes. Season the chuck with 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 g) salt and using the coarse grinder plate, grind according to the technique in chapter 1. If using ground chuck, mix with 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 g) salt.
Divide the ground beef into four 6-ounce (170 g) portions and shape into patties according to the technique in chapter 1. Place on a sheet pan and freeze, covered, for 2 hours.
Prepare the sous vide bath. Set the temperature to 120°F (49°C) for rare or 125°F (52°C) for medium rare.
Remove the burgers from the freezer and vacuum seal each one individually. Place the burgers in the water bath for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Remove the burgers from the water bath and let rest for 5 minutes. Take the burgers out of the bag and season with salt and pepper.

FLIP AND SEAR ON THE OTHER SIDE FOR 1 MINUTE. You can finish the burgers on a skillet or grill. If using the skillet, while the burgers are resting, heat a skillet over high heat until very hot. If you have an infrared thermometer, the skillet should register at least 500°F (250°C). Or test by brushing on a bit of oil. When the skillet starts to smoke, it is ready. Brush oil onto the skillet and sear the burgers for 1 minute per side. If grilling, build a fire in a kettle grill (page 18). Clean the grill grate well with a stiff wire brush. Brush the grate with oil and grill the burgers for 1 minute per side.
