Only way I do steak at home now

And it really gets the most out of grass fed beef which I usually don't care for

Try a grass fed ribeye sous vide and you'll be a believer

My God.

I gave up red meat for lent but I'm going to have to use the Sunday rest excuse now.

What did you put on the steak?

I normally only season with kosher (or sea) salt and fresh cracked pepper. However, last night, I used the rub that I bought from Perini Steakhouse in Buffalo Gap, Texas this week.

I usually do this but I'll season the butter with garlic and thyme if I have fresh thyme on hand

Gotta try this tonight. I do a light coat of EVOO, salt and pepper with just regular butter for the sear.

Did it moo when you took the steak out of the bag?

Damn fine work rite there, WC!!

I used to sous vide steaks a lot but I have gotten in the habit of reverse searing them instead. The main reason is that RS dries the outside of the meat better and makes for an excellent sear.

Your steak looks perfectly seared. Mind detailing the steps you took once you took it out of the bag?

What plastic is used?

My concern is BPA and other endocrine disruptors leaching into the meat.

Here is an interesting read on plastics and sous vide. The comments are quite interesting with several scientists contributing to the discussion.

I haven't tried this, but I have been slow cooking steaks with low heat when I do them inside for a long time. All four edges first. Malliard reaction is better. I probably misspelled Malliard.

I patted dry my steak after removing it from its water bath. I then let it rest for approximately 10 minutes.

Heated up hot sauté pan, applied olive oil, placed steak in pan, and then added butter. Coated steak multiple times within a minute, flipped it over and repeated process.

Finally, transferred to plate and enjoyed my labor.

Threads like this continue to piss me off. I don't want to buy this contraption, but the steaks in these threads look exellent.

It's well worth the time and little investment.

Thanks. I did something similar with thick pork chops recently. Oil and butter in cast iron, added some sage and thyme. Came out great.
