sous vide is great for pork, especially thicker cuts.

NY strip & Filet are also good for sous vide but I find that the fat and connective tissue of a Ribeye does not yield a favorable outcome when cooked this way.

My favorite cut of beef to sous vide is Flat Iron. It has the tenderness of filet with a rich beef flavor.

Mine come out great. The biggest problem for me is, Steak tends to be a last minute decision for me, and I rarely have the time to do it right.

I've been putting those on my BGE at about 220 for around an hour and then searing them on a cast iron. I had never bought them before March when that was one of the only packs of beef I could find at Costco, now I buy them all of the time
