Italian term or phrase: cotto a bassa temperatura
"manzo cotto a bassa temperatura"

voce di un menù, tipo di cottura molto diffusa ultimamente in cucina.

Tradurrei con"beef cooked at low temperature" ma mi sembra molto italianizzato. Sapresti darmi un consiglio?

Grazie.

sous-vide cooked


Explanation:
Attenzione, molto spesso per cottura a bassa temperatura si intende la cottura sottovuoto, che si fa con il roner (nei ristoranti) o appositi strumenti per uso casalingo. Visto il tuo riferimento a "un tipo di cottura molto diffusa ultimamente in cucina" credo che si tratti di questo. Se cerchi su Internet trovi un'infinità di risultati.

disagree  writeaway: no -that's vacuum cooked/ yes obviously but not all slow cooking is sous vide!!
2 hrs
  -> vacuum cooking and sous-vide cooking are exactly the same J I know very well that slow cooking is not necessarily sous-vide, which is evident if you read carefully my original answer
agree  Fiona Grace Peterson: If it's a menu, then just "sous-vide beef"

slow-cooked beef


Explanation:
This is my instinctive thought for translating this...slow cooked beef is cooked for a long time at a low temperature...however more context, or the exact recipe would help determine whether to translate it thus or with "stewed beef"

Anche se la ricetta non implica necessariamente la cottura in uno slow cooker, Il termine è abbastanza generico e vicino all'italiano per rendere l'idea della cottura lenta a bassa temperatura

I think we need to remember that it's a dish on a menu and not an item in a cookery course for chefs so the terminology needs to be simple and appealing enough to the potential customer not well-versed in the French culinary terms.

agree  philgoddard: Here's a recipe. It is sous vide, so Laura is right, but it's cooked for twelve hours. https://www.cookaround.com/ricetta/manzo-cotto-a-bassa-tempe...

  -> Thanks Phil! Good recipe.
agree  LAURA PALAMENGA: Hi Phil, I don't understand the "but" part. Sous-vide cooking can go from 20' to 72 hours and more.
