A bold, buttery sous vide steak with garlic that’s juicy, perfectly cooked edge-to-edge, and topped with a garlic-parsley compound butter for restaurant-quality flavor at home.
2 pounds Filet Mignon (4 1/4-pound steaks)
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons butter (softened)
1 clove garlic, finely minced
2 tablespoons flat-leaf parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1. Season steaks with kosher salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
2. Preheat sous vide water bath to 130°F for medium-rare doneness.
3. Seal steaks in a bag with 1 tablespoon of butter and parsley.
4. Submerge sealed bag into sous vide bath and cook for 1 hour.
5. While steaks cook, mix softened butter with minced garlic, parsley, and a pinch of salt.
6. Remove steaks from water bath, pat dry thoroughly.
7. Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat with vegetable oil.
8. Sear steaks for 30 seconds to 1 minute on each side.
9. Top each steak with garlic butter compound.
10. Let steaks rest for 5 minutes, then serve.
Use garlic powder during sous vide for gentle flavor; add fresh garlic in butter post-cook for richness.
Don’t skip patting steaks dry before searing—it ensures a perfect crust.
Letting steaks rest after searing helps keep juices locked in.
