Hey Chong, why not just follow Jeff Akin’s recipe at the Anova recipe file? It’s just a couple of clicks away.

The only adjustment i would make to that recipe is to oven-finish your roast at a higher temperature, say 450F or more to get a little more crust and crispy fat.

I’ve got fresh rosemary and thyme growing in my kitchen and i usually add a few sprigs of each to a beef cooking bag. They impart an enhanced flavour to the meat juices that can be incorporated in your au jus or gravy.

If you haven’t tried it, a very low and slow oven cook can give you an even more delicious outcome.
