A question for you Sous Vide experts.
How long and at what temp would you cook a 1.466kg Prime Silverside joint for medium rare?

I’m thinking 3 hours at 55 degrees, but opinions online seem to vary greatly.

Thanks.

I reckon you are pretty close I’d do around 3-4  hours at 52.5 but i like rare let us know how it comes out at that temp I’m always interested as not everyone here likes it rare !

Download the Joule app and the once you click on the beef section the first icon is silverside and shows temps and times
with a short video to show the results of cooking it.

It really is a brilliant app.

I like my beef still mooing, but the wife and kids don’t so I’ve erred on the side of caution.

The Joules app suggests 54 for 2 hours where it’s still pink, so I’ll see how 55 for 3 hours turns out.

I'd go with around 58 for 2 hours, but would be interested to know how your silverside turned out.

If still too pink for the timid, then seal and throw back in for a bit longer.

I’ll try that next time if this doesn’t work out as it’s been in for 2 hours already at 55.

Do you oven the joint for 10 minutes at 250 degrees for 10 minutes after like the Joule app suggests? I was planning to just sear the outside in a hot pan?

Agreed after a sear and a good rest, I’m sure it will be beautiful

It might dry too much if done in an oven, but if Joule say so.....
I always pat it dry after taking out of the bag and save juices for a gravy and pan fry. Sometimes I roll the joint in spices or herbs and then pan fry.

Turned out great. Pretty much exactly what I was aiming for and tasted amazing!
