Wondering what to make for dinner? We have more than a month’s worth of easy weeknight meals for you here. Each of the sauces we have created—deeply flavored curries; French mother sauces; and sauces with flavors from around the world—are optimized to be a sous vide sauce. Make the sauce, sous vide your protein in it, and put together a couple of sides while you wait. Dinner is ready. All the sauces and meals you see below have been created and tested by the chefs and food scientists at ChefSteps to work as sous vide dinners. They were taste tested by real customers for over a year. Some of you reading might have been Joule Ready customers. You made some of these meals—Thai green curry chicken; steak au poivre; and chicken tikka masala—in your home, again and again. Joule Ready is no more, sadly, but the sauces and meals live on. We want to help you create these meals in your home now. We know that you love to cook. We know that you want to make the most delicious meals you can create in your own kitchen. However, we also know that some days you would like to make those meals in the time available to you. During the week, there may not be much time to make dinner. That’s why we created these meals for you—to make weeknights easy and full of incredible flavors. Here, we have featured the meals you can make with these sauces—sous vide cod with lemon beurre blanc, mashed potatoes, and green beans; Filipino adobo chicken with rice and braised bok choy; spicy citrus barbecue pork with rice and grilled scallions—but you can cook any protein you want in any sauce you want, and make up your own meal. Enjoy.
