Turbo Pork Fillet

Instructions

• 1

  Place the Joule Turbo Sous Vide inside a pot or large vessel (max 8 litres) and place on a trivet. Fill with cool tap water until approximately halfway between the minimum and maximum fill lines and keep the pot uncovered.

  Tip: A trivet will protect your benchtop from direct contact with the hot pot or vessel.

  Slice the fillet(s) in half crosswise and place in a microwave-safe, zip-lock freezer bag, side by side, with the longest edge running along the base of the bag. Sprinkle with salt and add the oil. If cooking more than 1 fillet, use multiple bags.

• 3

  In Breville+, press Set Time & Temp at the bottom of the screen and follow the prompts to customise the cooking of your pork. Once set, lower the bag into the water against the side of the pot, while using a spatula to push it three-quarters of the way down. This will remove the excess air and ensures it does not float. Seal the bag and Start Turbo.

  When the timer signals that the pork is done, heat a cast iron skillet or heavy-based frying pan over high heat. Carefully remove the bag from the water. Place the pork on a paper towel lined cooling rack set over a tray and pat dry. 

• 5

  Only when the pan starts to smoke (this will prevent overcooking and sticking), add 1 tablespoon of oil and sear the fillet(s) for 30 seconds on each side. Transfer the pork to a cooling rack set over a tray and rest for 1 minute. Repeat as necessary to cook all pork fillets. 

  Tip: For extra flavour and colour, you can add a knob of butter and baste the fillet(s) while searing.
