Master the art of cooking the perfect sous vide steak with our comprehensive guide. Learn the best techniques and tips for succulent, restaurant-quality results.

Ingredients

  • – 1 lb (454 g) beef strip steaks, 2 1/2 steaks
  • – 1/2 teaspoon (3 ml) coarse sea salt
  • – 1/2 teaspoon (3 ml) coarse black pepper
  • – 2 herb sprigs, rosemary, thyme, or oregano
  • – 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. To start, fill a large pot with water to create a sous vide water bath. Ensure the pot is spacious enough for the steak and the water is deep enough to reach the sous vide device’s water line. Insert your sous vide into the water bath. For a medium-rare result, adjust the water bath to 130°F. Refer to any recipe notes for different temperature suggestions.
  2. Next, liberally season both sides of the steak with salt and pepper, then place each steak in a medium-sized Stasher bag or Food Saver bag, with one steak per bag. If preparing four steaks, use four separate bags.
  3. Add a sprig of herb and a tablespoon of vegetable oil on top of each steak in the bag.
  4. Expel air from the bags as much as possible and seal them tightly. If using a Stasher bag, try to eliminate as much air as you can.
  5. Submerge the steaks in the preheated water bath and cook at 130°F for 2 to 4 hours. Two hours is sufficient to bring the steak to the desired temperature, but cooking up to 4 hours is possible before the tendons begin to break down.
  6. After 2 hours, remove the steak from the water bath and place it on a plate.
  7. It’s time to sear the steak for that perfect texture. Preheat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add vegetable oil.
  8. When the oil is fragrant, put the steak in the pan and sear for 1 minute on each side. Remove from heat immediately.
  9. Serve the steak alongside chimichurri or a tasty vegetable side dish.

Notes

  • Marinate beef strip steaks with herbs and vegetable oil before sous vide for a more flavorful result.
  • Experiment with rosemary, thyme, or oregano to customize the steak’s flavor profile.
  • Ensure steak is thoroughly dried before searing to achieve a nice crust.
