First attempt at Sous Vide

Is this a joke?

Looks like poop on a plate

Despite what some may think about the appearance, I bet it tasted damn good!

i bet it tasted great, but the cut pic isn't very flattering tbh I think you need to get some thicker cuts (2"+) and add more kosher salt and pepper to improve that crust.

Also, I'm not sure if it's just me making shite up or not, but I feel like my steaks have tasted better when I kept them in the bath for 3+ hours. I'm not a sous vide scientist like some on here though, so if it does indeed make it better, I couldn't tell you why


This is the eye of a prime ribeye from Whole Foods after a 4hr, 124deg bath. Seared with cast iron on stovetop for 30sec each side

I definitely see the difference between your cut picture and mine. It was my first attempt at Sous vide and starting a thread of something that I cooked. I took the picture with poor lighting in the room and then ate the whole thing. I decided to post about it after I ate it. That was the only cut picture I had. I bought the ribeyes from Costco and they usually have a pretty good meat selection.

I came here last week asking for Sous vide recipes and the thread was hijacked talking about the dude who got caught up in a racketeering situation with lobsters.

Thanks for the advice on the salt and pepper.

Welcome to the club

Be forewarned, there are lots of sous vide haters here.

Looks good man

I think it looks good OP. Some people are just born assholes.

Agreed

then why comment on the thread... its not like you take the steak out of the bag and eat it. You sear it like you normally would a steak but you get a more precise steak to your liking whether its rare, medium rare, etc

Have you ever had a steak done sous vide?
