Are you confident cooking meat with your Thermomix? Whether you are into carnivore eating or just curious about how to make meat dishes with your Thermomix, there's something for everyone in this months series. We are making juicy steak using the sous vide mode, poached eggs with the blade cover, steaming fish and chicken plus so much more. Check out the videos on Facebook and Youtube and download the recipes below.
Meat made easy with Sauté
There are a range of ways to cook meat in your Thermomix. If you are yet to trying Sautéing strips or cubes of chicken/beef/pork with the high heat on the TM6 then you are missing out on such an easy and quick cook. Great for when you want quick stir-fry strips or cubes for pizza - 7 minutes is all you need. Remember as well you can swap the types of meat, so long as you match the weight requested. Special note for TM31 & TM5 owners - you will need to use varoma setting and cook it longer to do this in your TM.
Slow and Low Cooking with Sous Vide
You have got to try this way of cooking!! Buttery tenderness on the inside, perfect every time. My meats of choice include beef rib fillets, salmon fillet and eggs - yes, scrambled eggs like you have never tried before. The sous vide eggs recipe can be found here - I highly recommend it.
Blade Cover Long Cooking with the Slow Cooker
Broths are so simple with the Thermomix. No more watching the stovetop, instead handfree cooking for hours on end, while you do more important things. Chicken broth is by far the most common one I make especially as we get into the colder months. You can swap out the blade cover if you do not have one with the simmering basket in most cases, so long as the liquid can still cover the meat. Reach out if you need advice on doing so.
Steaming so soft in the Varoma
Have you used your varoma and put it through its' paces getting the very most from your whole Thermomix. A whole chook, or a fall apart corned beef some delicious fish fillets is so easy and never dry when cooked with steam. We adore salmon cooked in the varoma, layering it up with some eggs as well and rice for the family.
I hope this has given you some more ideas of how simple meat cooking can be with your Thermomix on the bench. There is money to be saved by mincing your own beef, pork, lamb or chicken down in your Thermomix, not to mention knowing what is in your food. Give these recipes on the download a go - print them out and put them on the fridge for inspiration when you need them.
I am always happy to hear from you, what you are making and if you need support with anything. Happy Thermomixing until next time - Lisa Keegan
