And, since you can freeze the vacuum sealed steak, you can do this in bulk and have multiple meals with almost no time invested. |

Sous vide does a great job on cheap steak. I've made sirloin sous vide that was every bit as tender as filet mignon.

Wow, nice find on my part. I love to grill. Not saying I'm the best at it, but willing to learn.
I have a Weber Genesis grill which I love. The wife is German and thinks my steaks are perfect...and wants me to still use marinade. I usually Jaccard then put steaks in zip locks and add marinade for 1 hour. Then I sear on a 400 deg grill ~ 1-2 min per side, depending on thickness. I've been trying to use just salt and pepper dry rub. She still likes the marinade. To each their own I guess. I watched the Douglas Baldwin video and he was searing using a butane torch. Who doesn't like FIRE BABY? Try doing that as the final presentation in front of friends and family. I read that you use a piping hot cast iron pan. My question is what is the benefit or difference. My thinking is there isn't. A sear = a sear. That torch was kick ass thou ![]() |

Using a water bath to cook things (in sealed packages, so no water touches) to a very precise temperature...
Like say you want a steak at exactly 130 degrees... You set the water bath to 130 and you place your sealed bag of filet on there.....it gets to 130 degrees...and STAYS there.....perfectly done, because the water is at 130... Then you can take it out when you want to plate it, put some grill marks on it, and plate/present it and it will be perfect.

Cooking in a vacuum packed bag with a water bath at precisely controlled temperatures.
The best example I can give is steak. When you cook a steak normally, you end up with a band of overcooked meat and perfectly cooked center because you're cooking the outside at 400-500 (or higher) degrees. With sous vide, you cook the same steak at exactly what temperature you want to serve it - 130 degrees for medium rare. So when you pull the meat out, the entire cut is 130 degrees. You do a super fast sear over scorching high heat (30-60 seconds), and you end up with a perfectly cooked steak with none of that overcooked band. Textures can get different, and because time + temp can kill pretty much anything, you can also serve things like chicken or pork at below the USDA recommended temperatures. So for chicken, I'll do sous vide at 145, which gives extraordinarily tender and juicy breasts (anything under that and the meat has a weird spongy texture). |

Cheap cuts seem to work better than more expensive cuts, at least for me. I have the Anova. Awesome machine. Started with basic chicken breasts and steak. Looking forward to trying 48-72 hour ribs and a brisket. |
