To achieve perfectly tender and juicy steak by boiling it in a bag, you can use a cooking method called sous vide. This involves sealing the steak in a plastic bag and cooking it in a water bath at a precise temperature for a longer period of time. This gentle cooking process helps the steak retain its juices and results in a tender texture.
Liquid in cooking can serve two functions. First it can serve as a medium to transfer heat from the stove to the food as in boiling or steaming food. That controls the temperature. Without such control the food burns. Water is used when a lower temperature is wanted; fat or oil is used for a higher temperature. Second, food contains water. Food without water is almost impossible to eat. Dried food such as dried milk, mashed potatoes, sea biscuits, beans, must be reconstituted before they become edible. Food requires at least 15% water before people can eat it.
