A classic sous vide New York strip steak, cooked to juicy perfection with garlic, rosemary, and butter, then pan-seared for a steakhouse-quality crust.
1 to 1 1/2-pounds boneless or 1 1/2-to 2-pounds bone-in New York strip steak (1 large)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 sprigs fresh thyme (optional)
2 sprigs fresh rosemary (optional)
— Finishing Steps —
1 tbsp vegetable, canola, or rice bran oil
1 tbsp unsalted butter
3–4 fresh thyme sprigs (optional)
3–4 rosemary sprigs (optional)
1 small shallot, sliced (optional)
2 whole cloves garlic, smashed (optional)
Coarse sea salt to finish (such as Maldon)
1. Preheat your sous vide cooker to 129°F for medium-rare or adjust to your desired doneness.
2. Season steak generously with salt and pepper.
3. Place steak into a vacuum-seal or zipper-lock bag.
4. Add thyme and rosemary sprigs if using.
5. Seal the bag with a vacuum sealer or the water displacement method.
6. Submerge in the water bath and cook for 1.5 to 2.5 hours depending on thickness (up to 3 hours for 2-inch steak).
7. Remove steak from bag, discard herbs, and pat completely dry with paper towels.
8. Heat skillet over high heat; add oil until shimmering.
9. Add steak and sear for 45–60 seconds per side.
10. Reduce heat to medium; add butter, garlic, shallots, and herbs.
11. Baste steak with butter for 30 seconds per side.
12. Transfer steak to plate; rest 5 minutes.
13. Sprinkle with coarse sea salt before serving.
Patting the steak dry is crucial for a good sear.
Use fresh herbs during searing for added aroma.
Searing should be quick and hot—don’t overcook at this stage.
