So my pork loin was rancid, so I went and bought a couple of 2" NY strips. I watched video after video and finally settled on a technique.

I vacuumed with no seasoning. Sous vide for 3 hours at 139. I would have prefered 130-132 but the wife likes a little less blood so I compromised at 139. Pulled them out and iced them for about 5 minutes and then onto a screaming hot cast iron skillet. I also had a little help from my bernzomatic (thanks to ya'll!). Prior to sear I loaded with kosher salt and after sear I hit is with course black pepper and a little more salt.

9/10 for flavor. Will do again!! Next time I am going to work on some kind of sauce. Any suggestions?

Looks incredible!


What kind of torch do y'all use to finish steaks? All I have is a MAPP torch for lighting BGE

Thats what I used. Everyone says that they are great unless you live in California. They cause cancer in California.

I have heard that MAPP is ok too but I got the propane tank just to make sure.

My great uncle worked on the Manhattan Project. They would sous vide their steaks using the sun, then strap the steaks to the warheads to get a hard sear on them

Looks like a pain in the arse for a steak that is going to be flavorless one way or another. I'll pass.

Give me charcoal over this method any day.

And how will it be flavorless?

To be honest, if nothing else, this technique is fun. What red blooded american man would not love to use a blowtorch?

Your steak looks great. I reccomend a board sauce. Fresh chopped herbs, garlic, salt, pepper, cherry bomb pepper, and EVOO. This is what it looked like.
