I've been happy with my SousVide Supreme for years, but haven't tried an immersion-type at all (so the point might be moot).

Every time I see a Sous Vide cooked steak, all I can think is "You couldn't let the steak sit out for an hour before cooking it?

What does letting it sit have to do with the cooking?

For anyone who doesn't know, sous vide means cooking in a vacuum sealed bag immersed in water. Because the moisture is sealed in with (1/2)

the meat, it becomes very juicy and tender. Then you can sear it (cook very hot very quickly) to lock the flavors in. (2/2)

Legit the best thing ive ever been given as a gift wass my anova precision cooker. Best steaks every damn time.

Imgur offers entirely new ways for people to torment one another. 6 hours before I can go home and cook myself a steak... Upvoted anyway.

I need a cast iron skillet. Trying to sear with a cheap aluminum pan is so futile.

I love cooking,smoking, baking and everything in the kitchen. But I still have problems in my head with sous-vide. I know it's one of the 1/

Easiest type of cooking for constistency. Still I can't accept reverse sear. That being said. Your strips look fucking fabulous. Good job@OP

An hr? How thick is the steak? I do 1 1/2 steaks at 135 for 23 mins then on cast for 40 sec each side

I follow this guide, which appears to suggest a 2 hr soak for a 1 1/2" (38mm) steak http://www.douglasbaldwin.com/sous-vide.html#Tender_Meat

We do sous vide. Buy steak and lamb from Costco, season, seal, freeze, then ready to go for weeks

Makes me wish I had a charcoal grill. What kind of wood coals were those, mesquite?

Now everone knows the secret! Also, if you want to make steaks faux "dry aged" pack a steak in salt and let it sit in the fridge over night

How does one cook on salt? Just out the brick on a burner or grill or something?

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 2

this was made using sous vide, a method of cooking where you seal the uncooked meat in an air tight bag with seasonings

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

usually these bags are vacuum sealed. The way the meat gets cooked is it gets heated by surrounding it with hot water mostly in plastic tubs

I really thought the Himalayan salt was one of those salt blocks, thanks!

Wait, you sear at the end?

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Yes, a short sear produces the Maillard reaction. I do mine with a kitchen torch. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maillard_reaction

It occurs to me you were asking about order of operations. Sorry if my previous reply seemed patronizing.

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

No worries. I have always seared first and then put in oven when not using the grill. Is this not the way?

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I've seen a few articles showing you can sear before or after without much difference in the end product. In sous vide, it's usually last.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Did you dear it first or after?

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I usually sear mine first, that way the herbs and things are stuck to the meat a bit better. Also helps keep the juice inside a bit better.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

When you sear it first does it still have a crunchy crust?

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Yup

After. Highest heat possible on my stove... smoked up the kitchen but well worth it

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

any additional oil/fat in the pan? or just slap it down dry and roaring hot?

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

1 tbsp olive oil and I tbsp of butter. You can clarify the butter for less char but I just melt as-is for darker color
