Sous Vide Wagyu Burger

Hot on the heels of the Sous Vide Corn on the Cob comes the best burger I think I have ever tasted – sous vide wagyu burger.  I was feeling a bit flush this week and bought some wagyu ground beef at my local grocery store. Of course, the only thing on my mind was how this choicest of choice meats was going to taste prepared sous vide. Well, it is fabulous – plain and simple. The burger was tender, juicy, and flavorful like no other burger I have ever had.  I paired it with sous vide corn on the cob for a perfect Summer dinner.  Splurge a little on yourself with some wagyu burgers. Your taste buds will thank you profusely!

    Looks great. I love being able to do burgers with a pink middle reliably in the sous vide. Yum yum!

      Thanks Richard! This burger was by far the best burger ever – and it was basically undressed!

    Looks very tantalizing! I’ve been wondering if the meats would taste even better if we were to add in some beef stock (say a couple spoons) into the pouch during sous vide.

      Yes, you can… give it a try! You can add many different unique flavors with just a small amount in the pouch.
