Equipment

Ingredients

1 pound Venison steak, loin, tenderloin
1 tsp Salt
¼ tsp Black Pepper

Instructions

Fill your water bath with enough water to cover the venison. Set the sous vide machine to the desired temperature. We recommend cooking venison at 135°F for medium-rare.
Season the venison with salt and pepper. Place the venison in a ziplock bag, and seal it using the water displacement method or a vacuum sealer.
Place the sealed bag of venison in the water bath, and cook for the desired time. Again, cooking times will vary depending on the thickness of the meat.
Once the venison is cooked, remove it from the bag, and pat it dry with a paper towel. Sear the venison in a hot skillet with oil for a minute or two on each side to brown it. Enjoy your perfectly cooked venison!

Notes

⏲️Best Time and Temperature For Cooking Venison

The time and temperature to cook venison will depend on the cut of meat and how thick it is. Use this chart as a guideline to sous vide venison. For rare venison, cook at 125F. For medium-rare venison, cook at 130F. If you like your venison well-done, cook it at 150F.

If you're unsure how long to cook the venison, err on the side of cooking it longer rather than shorter. You can always take it out of the water bath and sear it for a minute or two if it's not cooked to your liking.

Sous Vide Venison Tenderloin (Backstrap) - Cook at 130F for 45 minutes to an hour.
Sous Vide Venison Loin (Roast) - Cook at 130F for 60 minutes to two hours.
Sous Vide Steak- Cook at 130F for 45 minutes to an hour and a half.
