Aces Wild Sous Vide Dinner for Two
Sous Vide Prime Rib and Brussel Sprouts
Holiday Dinner for Two
The holiday season is upon us, and what better way to celebrate than with a decadent dinner for two? This year, elevate your holiday feast with a sous vide twist, featuring a mouthwatering prime rib loin seasoned with Aces Wild BBQ rubs.
Sous vide, a cooking method that involves immersing vacuum-sealed food in a water bath at a precisely controlled temperature, promises perfectly cooked dishes every time. For our quaint celebration, a prime rib loin is choice for sous vide, known for its tenderness and rich flavor.
To kick things up a notch, generously coat the prime rib
loin with
Aces Wild BBQ rubs—a harmonious blend of spices that adds depth and
complexity to the meat. This step ensures that every bite is a
symphony of
flavors, making your holiday dinner a truly unforgettable experience.
As the prime rib loin bathed in the sous vide water bath, turn your attention to crafting a sensational side dish. Brussels sprouts, a holiday classic, got a makeover in a Tahini & Harissa sauce. This fusion of Middle Eastern and Asian flavors brought a unique and vibrant twist to the table, perfectly complementing the richness of the prime rib.
The result? Brussels sprouts that are not only sous vide tender but also flavorful and a delightful departure from the ordinary. The Tahini and harissa add creaminess and a subtle kick, while the herbs and black sesame seeds contribute freshness and crunch!
No holiday celebration is complete without the perfect libations. Enter Kurvball Original Barbecue Whiskey Smokin' Palmer drinks—a refreshing blend of sweet tea, smoky whiskey, and a hint of barbecue flair. Sipping on this innovative concoction adds an extra layer of festivity to your soirée, making it a meal to remember!
Cheers to good food, good company, and the magic of the holiday season!
