Sous Vide Hanger Steak w / pic

With all of the sous vide controversy here of late, I thought I'd post a pic of my dinner.
For those with an open mind who are having fun exploring sous vide...this hanger steak purchased from Whole Foods goes straight into a food saver bag with no fat, salt or pepper. 132 degrees for 4-5 hours. I like to ice bath mine down and put in the fridge (or freezer) for later. When I'm hungry, into a 115 degree water bath it goes so that it warms it up without overcooking during the sear. Hot cast iron until browned on all sides. I sauteed button mushrooms then deglazed with red wine and slightly emulsified with pats of butter.
For those who ridicule sous vide, behold this abomination...

I'm not going to lie...it looks "mushy."

It is, because he cooked it and then either froze or refrigerated it.

Looks good. I may have to look into this sous vide shite.

I'm gettin one. That thing looks perfect.

That seems like a ton of work for a steak that doesn't look that good. I can bring a steak up to room temp, or during the summer even outside temp, throw it on my sear burner, and get the same or better results

Interesting take here. Basically, myth No. 1 is about bringing it to room temperature.

Looks mushy as hell

It seems pretty minimal to me besides the time involved

Just looks tender and juicy to me.

Possibly legit critique, but that steak is far from "doesn't look good."

Vacuum sealed? Ice bath? 115* bath? frick all that

You forgot the "that"
I would eat it, but for the steps taken to get there, it's not that impressive
