How did this turn out? Chimmichurri needs to be bright and herby, and both the vinegar and herbs (in my mind) would be really muted by a long cook in the sous vide. Do you feel like this ended up adding to the final dish?
Flip side, they look like they’ve had a nice long braise which is always good. Very interesting! Report?

This feels like something that can he done but shouldn’t necessarily be done. Most of the flavour from beef comes from fat soluble flavour compounds so I can imagine a long cook in oil will significantly reduce the beefyness of the cheeks. Cooking beef cheeks at 135f for 24-48hrs then serving with fresh chimmichuri just seems like the better option.

I don’t understand why you would cook a bright, fresh salsa. It makes no sense. You didn’t say how long the cook was, but it seems doing a long cook in an acidic sauce would make for an unpleasant texture

Just because you can doesn’t mean you should
