Sous vide T-bone steak with blue cheese mashed sweet potato and stir-fried quinoa
I know there’s a bit of repetition here with sous vide steak, however, this is the first time I’ve cooked a T-bone steak.
Yummy Lummy is all about cooking for one, so here’s a recipe for T-bone steak for one along with some really nice blue cheese mashed sweet potato and some stir-fried leftover quinoa which I fried with broccolini and asparagus.

I’m really enjoying the sous vide method of cooking a steak. It almost always guarantees perfectly cooked tender steak.
I bought all the ingredients at Coles. I cooked with the Anova Culinary Precision Cooker.

Questions and answers
What happened to the ‘like’ button?
There’s been a glitch. Click here and I’ve explained why.
Do you like T-bone steak?
It’s not my favourite cut. Most of the time the porterhouse portion can be a little tough. The fillet portion is usually tender but it’s the smallest part of the steak. This sous vide T-bone steak though was tender and tasty.
How was the blue cheese in the sweet potato mash?
It was fabulous. I love blue cheese. It adds such a great flavour profile.
Why are you adding slices of lime to everything?
I love the flavour of lime juice. It really cuts nicely through the oiliness of the steak and the acidity adds a lovely tang.

Final thoughts
Do you like T-bone steak? How often do you eat it?
Do you like blue cheese?
Isn’t sous vide just the greatest piece of kitchen appliances one can own?!! I love mine. I had to wait a few years because my husband didn’t believe i would use it, and then I finally got one for Christmas. Just used it for hanger steaks – 12 hours at 131 degrees F and they’re like buttah!!!
Best. Thing. Ever!
I love cooking sous vide.
I love it when steak is served to me already cut so I can see how perfectly it is cooked and how rested it is.
It was nice sitting down in a comfy chair with the plate in one hand and a fork in the other 😃
Sounds like another winner, Gary! You’ve included a few of my favorites.
Thanks very much. I really enjoyed this meal.
And now I am hungry.
I enjoyed using a thin sharp blade to cut along the bones and then slice the steak into think strips. I didn’t need to eat my meal with a knife. The blue cheese sweet potato mash was really nice.
I always enjoying hearing and reading about your recipes. I live vicariously through them as I have food allergies and am lactose intolerant. Also many digestive issues. Plus my high blood pressure limits what I can eat. Some products must only be available in Australia as a few I’ve never heard or seen in New York. Keep up the good work!
I’m sorry to read about your food allergies and intolerances. I’m happy you can live a little vicariously through my efforts.
I’ll make an effort to mention if something is peculiar to Australia or not.
Thanks. I’ve had the food allergies for years. It’s no big deal now. As long as I watch what I eat I’m fine.
The good thing is you know what you can and cannot eat. I hope you can enjoy what you can eat 😃
I enjoy my food. Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays.
I wish we had a Thanksgiving-like holiday here.
Well I suppose that you could substitute Easter or Christmas. Even ethnic Holidays are great reasons to eat.
My preference would be to have a reconciliation day as a public holiday with a Thanksgiving food tradition so that Australia day can just be a day that is remembered but not associated with a public holiday. Australia day has become divisive here, unfortunately.
Same here in the USA. Sigh. Race relations are horrible in America.
Hopefully things will get better in both our countries.
I hope so. The conflict and confrontation are unproductive. That said, for people who are fighting for equality, we need to do more to ensure equity and equality for all.
Absolutely! I agree with you 100%
I’m still hoping that Dr. Martin Luther king Jr dream will come true for Americans and for Australia.
I agree. Hopefully, it won’t be far away.

I did a double take on the KFC recipes.
KFC got caught giving customers fried rats and mice. Once my girlfriend found a Kentucky fried rat I stopped eating there!
Yikes, that’s awful. As far as I know that’s not a problem in Australia, at least the area where I live.
Fortunately I can’t eat most fast food. Way too much salt! Any time I indulge instant headache. New York city does offer healthy food choices. One has to look for them. Nearly every fast food restaurant has had some sort of scandal which is why I stay away.
I’m guessing though in NYC the healthy options will often be expensive. It’s unfortunate that healthy food is often more expensive and not attainable for the people who need it.
True. I live in a poor working class neighborhood. A virtual food wasteland. I must walk, take the bus or ride the subway for healthy food.
I do have a weakness for Grub Hub a meal delivery service but I only order on special occasions or in the dead of winter.
It must be awful when you’re snowed in and unable to get out.
Yes it is. But having been born and raised in New York city snowstorms are expected. One just needs to be prepared.
The roasted mashed sweet potato and blue cheese combo sounds divine. It sounds like a good accompaniment to a meal, a good snack, a good breakfast, a good everything.
Thanks Mabel. I reckon I’ll be using blue cheese more in mash 😃😃😃
Great idea with blue cheese in the mash. Never tried it but will now for sure!
It was sublime. I will do it again.
