Sous-vide pork fillet
A little sous-vide experiment using some very reasonable Aldi frozen Scottish pork fillet tenderloin (£6.69 per kg) and some odds that were laying about in the freezer.
I will only cook the tenderloin sous-vide for a maximum of 3 hours, but I am going to vacuum seal the fillet and marinade for about 6 hours.
I've vacuum sealed the frozen pork 1 heaped teaspoon of Taste Sensation Lime Juice Powder together with 170 ml of frozen home-made apple sauce and a splash of frozen Stella lager. (A good cook never throws any food away!)
For the 'marinade' I put the frozen vac-sealed apple-pork filet in the sous-vide cooker at it's lowest setting [45°C - 113°F] for about 6 hours. Jiggle it now and then. That should allow the acid in the fruit to penetrate the meat.
For the final cook, remove the pork fillet from the vac-bag , wipe the pork fillet with a paper towel and roll it in the powdered herbs - reseal and cook sous-vide for 3 hours at 58°C - 136°F
