Sous Vide Lamb Rib Eye, carrots, brussel sprouts, turnips and pea shoots with a mustard persillade sauce

sous vide rsck of lamb rib eye

Lamb is an excellent choice of meat and easy to prepare especially when the young sheep are raised on grass as feed. Grass-fed beef and lamb has more Omega-3 fatty acids, which reduce the risk of heart disease. Grass-fed also contains more beta-carotene and up to five times as much conjugated linoleic acids (CLA). The lamb used in this recipe is from New Zealand and purchased at Trader Joes. See our comparison of Costco (Australian Lamb) and lamb from New Zealand.
