I sous vide some rib eye steaks for New Years Eve dinner with Au Poivre sauce. Seriously, it was the best steak I ever had.

This is the primary reason I bought a sous vide years ago. Perfect steaks all the time. I also use it to cook rack of lamb and lobster tails. It is so hard to overcook expensive proteins using this method. The only difference in finishing the steak is I use cast iron and a fat with a high smoke point like avocado oil or ghee. A perfect crust every time.

If you really want to do it right, sear the sides as well. I usually sear the fat side first; so that the fat renders. If you do it that way; you don't need as much or any oil and you get a better font for your sauce

An advantage of starting with the fat cap is if your fat cap is thicker than your steak, searing it will reduce it's size a bit so that when you begin to sear the main surfaces of your steak, the fat cap will not block the edge of the steak from searing.

Only used about 6 times so far but food turning out great. kzread.infoUgkxK2YRU9uBOXzuIEV660Qo3sX7dJDJLg72 Nice tender roasts. You do want to get a lid to go over your stock pot to keep water from evaporating. I've used it for 6-48 hours with lots of luck. A lot is trial and error to figure out since thickness and cut help determine the best time. 135 always gives a perfect med (pink all the way through). I cooked frozen solid 3 1/2" roast for 48 hours ... it was so tender its almost falling apart. Nice to put it in and just forget about it, with silicone lid I didn't have to add water at all during 48 hours.

Grilling works well, but if you're getting the grill out anyway might as well cook them entirely on that. The last methods are the broiler or the stovetop, both work but they have a good chance of smoking up your house. Though the broiler is good if you're doing more than a couple steaks.

For me, a well-seared steak cooked to medium rare needs only a light sprinkle of salt right before cutting into it. The caramelized crust contrasts wonderfully with the salt.

It's basically slow cooking without actually boiling it in water. You could use a device that pulls the air out of a container and use Pyrex or a canning jar to hold the steaks while they cook in a cooker with a thermometer that is to keep the water to 130 degrees for 1 1/2 to 3 hours, at accurate temperature.

If you have a sous vide circulator you can turn the temp down to 32, so it doesn't heat at all, and use it to defrost your meat quickly in the circulating water. It defrosts much faster than just water alone. Put the meat in a ziploc bag and then in cold tap water. Add ice cubes if it doesn't drop down low enough after 15 mins or so to be safe during the defrost period. I like to make sure the water is 42F or cooler.

Just set your sous vide circulator to 135F. Unlike cooking on a grill or in an 350F oven, where it's easy to overcook meat, you can't overcook meat if you leave it in after the time that it hit 135F all the way through. You could undercook if you don't leave it in long enough, but once you've cooked it "long enough" the roast isn't going to change that much if you left it at 135F for an extra couple of hours. Being in a sealed bag, it isn't going to dry out.

If you adhered to a correct temperature table in order to pasteurize the steak, then it should last longer in the fridge than a raw steak. You could eat it without pasteurizing it again in the next few days, just heat until warm. If you're going to sous vide to reheat, you can pasteurize again if you want, for maximum food safety. I've reheated leftover steak sous vide, but since reheating takes about as long as cooking it's more practical to make the steak as you eat it. If I'm pressed for time at all, maybe even if I'm not, I would reheat the steak directly in the pan, like I'm searing it again. I also don't sous vide any more since I got into reverse-searing which is easier and gives me better results. I just cook the steaks in the oven at low heat around as long as I'd sous vide them, then I sear them. They are evenly cooked and the dry exterior makes a fast, great sear and crust. A fast sear is important for preserving the evenly cooked meat, sear too long and you'll overcook the steak. I've done that several times with perfectly sous vided steaks.

Loads of butter, aromatics and garlic cloves in the pan is the best way to sear the steak. Whilst searing the steak pour over the butter, garlic cloves and aromatics every time you turn the steak and cast iron the way to go👍👌

Can I brown steaks on my gas grill instead of pan searing

Chef, you’re creating a wonderful dish. Please consider searing in ghee as opposed to disease promoting vegetable oil. Natures nutrition.

Sous vie is best for really cheap tough cuts with a lot of connective tissues , try chuck or brisket, shank

If you were going with the water displacement method anyway, there was zero need to squeeze the bag like that. Adding grease to the bag before sous vide is a definite no-no as well since it negatively affects the flavor of the steak. The rather thick gray band also indicates that your searing method was ineffective. Much better to do a high temp sear using either a torch or a cast iron skillet preheated to the highest temperature your oven will allow since it has much greater heat capacity than a dinky skillet with oil on a stovetop.

They didn't have edge to edge results. I've burned steak in All-Clad with edge to edge medium. Their sear was much more even than anything I've seen from cast iron using only the stove top. The flavor of the oil when used to sear becomes a whole different thing (it's not oil anymore). Follow science; not romanticism.

@@madthumbs1564 Which is why you wouldn't use the stovetop alone on cast iron, but preheat it in the oven instead. Adding grease to the bag for sous vide dissolves any fat-soluble flavor compounds in the steak and weakens its flavor. This has been tested by Sous Vide Everything and confirmed by my own experience. Coating that skillet in oil also reduces the maximum temperature that that skillet can reach, since you're limited by the smoke point of the oil (at most 450 degrees). Use a searzall or a ripping hot preheated cast iron skillet instead. Speaking from experience, I've both seen and done much better than what is shown in this video. Don't listen blindly to what a random video on KZread tells you, no matter what testing methodology (that isn't shown) they espouse. Frankly, don't listen to me either. Just go out and try it.

@@ninja5624 Agreed, I use a Searzall most of the time, sometimes a 500ºish cast iron pan if I want that little extra bit of flavor, but not regularly. I only use oil for searing when I do it in a pan, always avocado oil, "vegetable" oil doesn't exist in my home, the stuff is poison.

I don't know... Interesting, but I'd rather stick with pan fry or bbq. Steak looks good though... Thanks for sharing this

If you don’t like vegetable oil can you substitute it for extra virgin olive oil?

I would be tempted to slightly under cook the steak before searing

You can sous vide the steak to your desired temperature to appropriately break down the meat fiber, rendering the fat and locking in the moisture, and then you just let it sit and cool down a bit before searing. You'll end up with a perfect sear that doesn't overcook the meat and it will have enough time to reabsorb any moisture lost in the initial cook before going in the pan or over the fire.

Better yet is to briefly chill the steak in the freezer, just enough to allow the outside to sear but not produce any appreciable further cooking inside.

Watch sousvideeverything for what does and doesn't work for protein (pork chops are amazing). Try some searches for other ideas, I pasteurize eggs that I can still whip the whites for ice cream, for corn on the cob, that sweat potato/marshmallow thing, baby carrots that I glaze with honey in a pan afterword(veggies required at least 183 F), cold brew coffee in two hours, I've seen things made with small canning jars like culturing yogurt or crack free cheese cake, and someone used one for cooking the mash to make beer.

Oh man. My favourite is thicker cuts of meat. Sous vide is the only way to cook a 3" thick pork chop for me. Turns out perfect every time.

@@madthumbs1564 you've obviously never experienced a sous vide steak. As for your plastic misinformation, the US only attributes about 3% of the world's plastic pollution, which is essentially nothing. You are worried about Asia and Africa, which attribute over 80%. We could double our plastic usage as a nation and there would be minimal, noticeable impact on the environment unless we focused it on an extremely small area, but that still wouldn't effect anywhere else in the long run as it would be purely localized.

Always trim excess fat and silver skin from steaks. The silver skin left intact causes the flesh to tighten up during the reverse sear and resting doesn't necessarily reverse the issue.

Score the fat and silver skin, and leave during Sous Vide. This adds flavor to the steak when searing.

A vacuum sealer will suck the oil into the machine. I don't use oil. Not needed. Besides salt and pepper I also add onion powder then seal.

That thumbnail 🤣

I found out my InstantPot MAX sous vide function was a gimmick that never worked properly since it does not circulate the hot water, so I purchases their dedicated sous vide water heater circulator and have that sit in a spare InstantPot inner pot liner

I have a sous vide machine and mainly cook steaks. I only salt and pepper then sear in a screaming hot cast iron with #Baconup #Bacongrease and my temp I like is 135° Fahrenheit

'cast iron' - Did you not see the results from All-Clad? -Not edge to edge like they say, but I've burned the edges and got real edge to edge in All-Clad. Cast iron skillets are for idiots.

If you don’t have a vacuum sealer you can cheat and place a straw in the bag then partially close the ziplock and suck the last of the air out while withdrawing the straw and sealing.
