A New (Well New To Me Anyway) Method For Cooking Steaks to Perfection

Sous-Vide Steaks

A few years ago I learned about something very similar to this at a cooking demonstration by Chef Jeff Blank from Hudsons on the Bend. I've tried Jeff's "keep hot" method and it works very well. His trick is using oil heated to 130 degrees, then putting the hot oil in a cooler. You then add the meat (not in a bag!) and it would hold it at that specific temp for along time.

But apparently this Sous-Vide method is different. You heat water to 130, then put the vacuum sealed steak in and the water cooks the steak! Then you take it out of the bag, dry it off and sear it on super high heat, then serve it immediately with no resting. Wow!

I'm going to give it a try!

heard it, tried it, and resuts are great!

i also heat oven to 325 place steak on iron skillet, sear on one side, then flip over in pan and stick in oven, for about 8-9 minutes.

That's what I said at 1st, but after reading the article in more detail, you actually still use the pit!

For the final super hot sear. Apparently you can do the final sear in a cast iron pan or griddle heated to 550 degrees as well. I'm going to use my grill with mesquite coals.

I usually put it on the Egg a about 700 degrees and eat it with the center still cold

I just sear the outside first thing, both sides, let it cook till the blood starts coming up, wait a minute or so, flip, same thing, wait for the blood, let it sit for another minute or so, DONE!

nice hot pink center, juicy and DONE!....no meat chewing gum...lol

The thread was not about how to cook a steak by conventional methods. I do the same thing you guys do. This is a new twist
