I wonder if your steaks were salted before the sous vide? I noticed that steak comes tougher from the sous vide if compared to the reverse sear if salted the same. But it is so much easier than cooking in the stove. Best wishes from Ukraine.

I may just get myself in trouble but, fresh oxygen. It’s unfortunate but that fire left a lot of soot really plaguing heck on your taste buds. Adding fresh oxygen to an infrared burner is the way to go. One of those 1 lb can torches from any hardware store will do the job. All the heat-none of the flames

Soot doesnt come from flames, soot can come from what is causing the flames. Flame touching meat doesnt have any bad effects as long as you are attentive and don't let it burn.

Sure do. Try beef tenderloin (best if you get whole one and break it down yourself into separate muscle groups), cut in to nice thick steak portions, then sous vide with 'no seasoning or salt". Season with Montreal steak spice (ground to fine powder) and a sprinkle seasoned salt. Sear over charcoal (not briquettes) when they are smoking hot. You don't even need a knife, cuts with a fork and really has huge flavor.

That's amazing. I've never thought of using the chimney to sear the steak. Amazing. Amazing. I've known for some time that metallurgically high temperatures can burn the steak before a proper sear develops and make it bitter. Some people like a Pittsburgh blue steak, but I prefer Chicago style. I will share two tips for a better sear: 1) Salt your steaks at least two hours before cooking and set them on a rack in your fridge. Use the amount of salt that you would normally use, just do it 2h in advance. 2h is needed for the juices to be drawn out and reabsorbed, so skip this tip if you don't have 2 hours. Also: salting 2h in advance increases flavor and tenderness, and I'm not talking a small amount. The difference is profound. 2) You can use tongs to hold the steak just barely above the coals or burner (depending if using charcoal or propane). If the charcoal isn't dirty/sandy, you can even touch the steak to the coals, although doing this for too many seconds can lead to bitterness and/or toughness, so just be careful so you don't ruin it. Bon Appétit.

i like how everytime they tasted a steak they both nodded like "yes, this is steak."

Well, if nothing else, it would be a riot to stand around barbecuing with Adam Savage for a day, and Kenji's website(and book, The Food Lab) are awesome culinary aids. I'd probably want a beer for the whole thing. I think that the scientific method could have been applied a little more diligently, with some temperature probes on the grates themselves, and a more careful hand applied to the stopwatch, but all in all, it was a cool experiment. I also would have liked to have seen a steak pan-seared in cast iron over a standard stovetop, just as a control for baseline comparisons, because that's something anyone can do, any day of the year. But at the end of the day, Adam Savage is easily my favourite TV personality, and Kenji rates as one of the most trusted culinary minds in my kitchen, so putting them together in a video is great. Also, if you've already watched the video and just want some time/technique references to quickly look at, here are some time stamps: SearzAll - 5:42 Charcoal Grill - 12:26 Charcoal Chimney(the winner) - 17:25 Aluminium Forge - 21:35

I made a skirt steak earlier today. Did a sort of dry sous vide in the oven, taking it to perfect medium (med rare is unsuited for skirt), and then just seared it in cast iron for 2 or 3 minutes. Absolutely fantastic result. The dry sous vide in the oven has the huge advantage of drying the surface of the meat a bit, which makes it sear faster.

Love seeing my inspirations collide: Adam, Mythbusters, Kenji, Alton. . .this is a happy realization for me.

I have a sous vide and have been searing on my gas grill because it seemed like a waste to load the charcoal grill. I'm going out to buy a chimney now because it does exactly what I've been trying to achieve.

Chimney is super easy. Just make sure do NOT use lighter fluid on the charcoal. Just put some papers underneath and burn with match or lighter. Your charcoals will be ready in 7 minutes.

They were using the sous vide ones... In the video they discussed the blooming of the steak extensively... The outside of a steak would bloom when exposed to air just like cutting into it.

***** I've seen people do just that. If they don't let the charcoal get going good enough they introduce heat the wrong way by dumping on the lighter fluid. Only it coats the grate and the stench just sticks around, not to mention it practically instantly burns up not helping the cooking thing. I use our battery powered air mattress pump when I'm out camping. If I'm at home I grab the compressor hose.

the elitism in your sentence is also quite stupid. theres always been people who never really accept sous vide as a cooking technique because its too "lab" to be considered cooking to them.

I have been sous-videoing religiously now for 1-1/2 years, have used the Searzall propane & Iwatani butane torches, but my best sear comes from my MHP propane grill with infrared ceramic burners. Sous-vide to 128º then 1-1/2 minute per side on the MHP. Would LOVE to try the Northfire Inferno infrared "salamander-style" grill though!!!

the last method used the king of random's metal foundry! Cool

That was awesome! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 personally I preffer the chimney as well, but my go to at home is the steel/cast iron pan fry w butter garlic thyme, then finish in hot oven 😋🥩🔪☑️

Reminds me of two professors having a conversation. I love this video

If you are doing a video on searing a steak, how do you NOT include searing it on a blazing hot cast iron pan????? For sure the best method for searing and gives you the best crust.

Terrell Watkins I need to try the sous vide. I usually just put it in the oven on low. Then throw it on cast iron on a the grill. Either way is great because your steak is medium rare (or however you want it ) all the way through.

I wished I had watched this video before I fired up my charcoal chimney, lol. Today was the first time I tried it. I mistakenly cooked 1 min per side, which is too much (unless you like your steak nearly blackened). Now I know, I am much better off reducing the sear time on it. Fantastic video. I learned a lot.

Im not sure what it is but just something about watching adam do experiments again made me so happy and nostalgic 🤗😭😖🤗🤗

Guessing you know very little about cooking? Also they were testing the overall quality of the sear, not the temperature. If they were testing temperature they wouldnt have pre-cooked the meat

Before this video I watched one about frying a steak and it looked quite good. Frying steak looks like a good idea.

This was really nerdy, I like it! 🤣 ... ADAM SAVAGE IS THE BEST!

I think I could watch this vid once a week and still enjoy it. Only problem is that now I want a good, charcoal-grilled steak. Unfortunately, it's half-past midnight, and it's late December in New England. So that's a challenge.

Hi, did you measure the temperature (at the grill) for all 4 methods? If so, can you please share this information? Thanks
