Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef tenderloin, trimmed
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 8 ounces spaghetti or your favorite pasta
- Fresh herbs (like parsley or chives) for garnish
How to Make Sous Vide Beef Tenderloin with Sauce
- Prepare your sous vide setup: Fill a large pot or container with water and attach your sous vide immersion circulator. Preheat the water to 129°F (54°C) for medium-rare.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, brown sugar, black pepper, and salt to create the marinade.
- Place the beef tenderloin in a large resealable bag. Pour the marinade over the beef, seal the bag while removing as much air as possible, and submerge it in the preheated water bath. Cook for 2 to 3 hours.
- About 30 minutes before the beef is done, cook the spaghetti according to package instructions. Drain and set aside, reserving a little pasta water.
- Once the beef is finished cooking, remove it from the bag and pat dry with paper towels. Heat a skillet over high heat and sear the beef for 1-2 minutes on each side to develop a crust.
- Slice the beef into medallions and arrange them on plates. Drizzle with additional soy garlic sauce from the pan or the marinade, if desired.
- Serve the beef alongside the pasta, tossing it with a splash of reserved pasta water and a drizzle of olive oil for added flavor.
- Garnish with fresh herbs before serving.
Tips for the Best Results
- Ensure your sous vide water bath is at the correct temperature before adding the beef.
- Pat the beef dry before searing to achieve a better crust.
- Use a heavy skillet for searing, as it helps create a nice caramelization.
- Adjust the cooking time for different levels of doneness; cook longer for medium or well-done.
Easy Variations
- Swap the soy sauce for tamari for a gluten-free version.
- Add a splash of sesame oil to the marinade for an Asian twist.
- Serve with roasted vegetables for a lighter side option.
- Substitute the spaghetti with rice noodles or zucchini noodles for a low-carb meal.
What to Serve With It
- Roasted asparagus or green beans for a fresh crunch.
- Creamy mashed potatoes to soak up the sauce.
- A simple arugula salad dressed with lemon vinaigrette.
- Garlic bread to complement the pasta.
Storage and Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, gently warm the beef in a skillet over low heat or return it to the sous vide bath for about 30 minutes. Reheat pasta separately and toss together before serving.
