Sous vide is a foolproof way to cook any and every cut of meat. You essentially sit back and let the device slowly and evenly cook all your favorite cuts to actual perfection. Ibérico pork in particular, is not a cut you want to overcook. Less is more with Ibérico. The sous vide to grill combo makes this Pluma recipe incomparable–perfectly cooked and juicy on the inside, and crispy and smoky on the outside. Serve it with grilled corn and some herby potatoes for a complete, summertime meal.

- 2 cups of heavy whipping cream
- 2 teaspoons of salt

- 1 sprig of fresh rosemary, finely chopped

Preparation for Pluma Ibérica Sous Vide with Grilled Potatoes & Corn
Herbal Butter:
- Pour cream into the bowl of a standing mixer
- using the whisk attachment, whip cream on low speed
- Begin slowly increasing the speed. It will first turn into whipped cream and after about 10 minutes it will begin to separate into a ball of butter and whey
- once the butter has separated, use a wooden spoon or colander to press and fold the butter to release excess liquid.
- Add salt, rosemary, thyme, and parsley
- Wash butter with cold water. Repeat the pressing process again for 2-3 times until you're left with a sold block of butter.
Pluma with Grill Potatoes & Corn:
- Season Pluma on both sides with salt and pepper and place in a sous vide. Add the herb butter and seal using the vacuum seal.
- Set the sous vide to 145ºF, place the Pluma in the water and cook for 2 hours.
- While the Pluma is cooking, boil the potatoes until tender. Once soft, sauté with butter, rosemary, and garlic scapes until nice and browned.
- Cook the corn on the grill until it starts to plump up and has nice char marks. Season with salt and pepper.
- Once the meat has cooked, remove it from the bag grill for 1 minute over direct heat on both sides. This will get it to get it nice and crispy and give it a smoky grilled flavor. Let the Pluma rest a few minutes before slicing.
- Serve the sous vide Pluma warm alongside the potatoes and corn. ¡Buen provecho!
Disclaimer: It is crucial not to sous vide meat in its packaging, as this can lead to health and safety risks. We recommend purchasing proper sous vide bags designed for this cooking method to ensure the best cooking results and food safety. Anova is one of our favorite brands of vacuum seal bags.
