@alexplayspiano1 this just isn't true. many tests have been done on this. instructors at the CIA firmly stated that searing does not seal in juices. this is not to say that searing does not have benefits, but "sealing in of juices" is not one of them.
@ahpadt Incorrect Sir. Searing meat causes the natural sugars to rise to the surface and caramelize. This creates a crust which acts to stop the osmosis of liquids from within the meat. This is why, when pan frying duck breast, you add it into the pan cold, with plenty of salt, as to render water and excess fat from the skin. If you were to sear the duck without doing this, then there would be too much moisture and the skin wouldn't crisp. With beef fillet, you want the opposite effect.
Krizziel, I agree to a certain extent about Gordon Ramsay. I included him because he is well-known and he stated that searing meat helps hold in the juices in one of his videos. Now from this video, " by searing, that's the way we get the blood ( juices?) to stay in the meat, all the flavors will be there ". If some people don't think searing helps, fine, I could care less how they cook it. That is certainly a great looking dish.
@xebob I personally think sous vide would overcook it,because it has to go into the oven aswell to cook the pastery,so sous vide,then searing and then into the oven will overcook it I think.I can't think of a better method of cooking this dish.
p3rs, if Michel Roux Jr and Michel Roux Sr and Albert Roux and Gordon Ramsay says it does, then I have to believe it does. Will it hold in ALL the juices? Of course not. Personally I would probably sous vide it and then brown it afterwards and reintroduce it to its juices. This method seems to work fine though, do you have a better method?
