Sous Vide Teriyaki Steak Bites with Broccoli and Peppers
Sous Vide Teriyaki Steak Bites with Broccoli and Peppers I chose to use my Sous vide here because I wanted to use tough stewing beef cubes, I find the flavour is intense but the meat does need to be cooked low and slow to break the tough muscles down.
