Ingredients

Scale

2 (1 1/2– to 2-inch-thick) ribeye, strip, porterhouse, or T-bone steaks (about 1 pound/450 g each), or 4 tenderloin steaks (6 to 8 ounces/170 to 225g each)

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

4 sprigs thyme or rosemary (optional)

2 cloves garlic (optional)

2 shallots, thinly sliced (optional)

2 tablespoons (30 ml) vegetable, canola, or rice bran oil (if pan-searing; optional)

2 tablespoons (30 g) butter (if pan-searing; optional)

1. Preheat sous vide cooker to 129°F (54°C) for medium rare.

2. Season steaks with salt and pepper; add herbs, garlic, and shallots (if using) to bag.

4. Remove steak, pat very dry with paper towels.

5. Heat skillet or grill to high heat.
