Ingredients

Scale

2 rib-eye steaks, 1 1/2 inches thick, or another steak of your choice

Kosher salt

Fresh ground pepper

Additional spice rub of your choice

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

1. Fill your pot with water and set the immersion circulator to your desired temperature.

2. Season steaks with salt and pepper.

3. Place each steak in a separate resealable freezer bag using the water displacement method.

4. Cook sous vide for a minimum of 1 hour.

5. Preheat the broiler and place oven rack 4–6 inches from element.

6. Remove steaks from bag and pat very dry.

7. Place steaks on a wire rack over a foil-lined baking sheet.

8. Broil steaks for 1–2 minutes per side or until a golden crust forms.

9. Optional: Use tongs to sear fat edges if needed.

10. Remove, rest briefly, slice, and serve.

Notes

Always dry steaks thoroughly before broiling for best crust.

Refrigerated steaks should be reheated before broiling.

Broiling is ideal for finishing multiple steaks at once.

Use a wire rack for even broiler exposure and avoid sogginess.
