Medium well with a side of Heinz? I don't know, I've never been to a steakhouse.

To test this, I pulled a single 15-ounce New York strip steak out of the refrigerator, cut it in half, placed half back in the fridge, and the other half on a ceramic plate on the counter. The steak started at 38°F and the ambient air in my kitchen was at 70°F. I then took temperature readings of its core every ten minutes.

After the first 20 minutes—the time that many chefs and books will recommend you let a steak rest at room temperature—the center of the steak had risen to a whopping 39.8°F. Not even a full two degrees. So I let it go longer. 30 minutes. 50 minutes. 1 hour and 20 minutes. After 1 hour and 50 minutes, the steak was up to 49.6°F in the center. Still colder than the cold water comes out of my tap in the summer, and only about 13% closer to its target temperature of a medium-rare 130°F than the steak in the fridge.

Honestly, I haven't been to many. I am talking about how I cook mine.

Loser pays for the 2 inch steaks.

I give zero fricks how you choose to cook your steak as long as you aren't cooking mine. I used to be just like you, insecure and threatened by sous vide because it undermined my skill. Then I saw the light and embraced progress, and now every single one of my steaks are perfect every single time, while the best you can hope to do is not frick it up too much.

There are so many different arguments going on in this thread right now that I am confused.

Yeah, we are all over the place. I will never turn down a well cooked steak (Medium rare, not well done). I'm sure the one described here is good.

Nope. The steaks are usually filets and at least 3 inches thick. The searing does almost nothing to the inner temp. And the oven does the rest to get them medium rare.

But reading the OP, they're talking about Ribeyes, so depending upon the thickness, those times would definitely be cut. My bad.

I'm not disagreeing with you that the results are slightly better to sous vide, but its completely not worth the effort imo.


It takes like 30 seconds to push a button, salt and pepper, and get the steaks in the bath.

Then I go drink a few beers, prep some sides, and it takes about 5 mins to sear.

If anything I think it takes more effort to get the grill to just the right temp, establish hot and cool zones, worry about adding more charcoal etc. Sous vide is completely hassle free once you've done it a couple times.

I don't typically do it intentionally, but I can assure you that I'd have zero problems eating a cut of meat that has sat out for two hours.

That same dude also says to leave them uncovered in the fridge for 2 days to let them dry out to get a good sear.

No thanks

I do, almost every time I cook them. Usually on a small rack, to get a bit of air flow going. It gets it to room temperature. And I promise you, in a house with AC, nothing dangerous happens. I'm not leaving it outside in the backyard under the sun.

Putting aside the fact that a sear doesn’t do any of what people think it does


I’ve never needed to do that in my life

Man it's hard to take you seriously if you don't even get the basic idea that the outside of the steak needs to be dry to get a good sear on it, and that dry aging produces some of the best steaks in the world.

Tbh 90% of the time I cook a steak its in the sous vide at 128 and then I hit it with a MAPP blowtorch for about 30 seconds per side.
