Ingredients
1 1/2 pounds steak (strip, T-Bone, or sirloin recommended)
2 sprigs rosemary
1 sprig thyme
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
1. Fill a deep pot or saucepan with water and set sous vide machine to 130°F for rare, 140°F for medium-rare, 150°F for medium, or 160°F for well-done.
2. Season both sides of the steak with salt and pepper.
3. Place the steak in a ziplock bag with rosemary, thyme, and minced garlic.
4. Partially seal the bag and use the water displacement method to push out air.
5. Submerge the sealed bag fully in the water bath.
6. Cook for 1 to 4 hours depending on your schedule.
7. Remove steak from bag and pat dry thoroughly.
8. Heat butter in a cast iron skillet until smoking hot.
9. Sear steak for 1 minute per side to develop a crust.
10. Serve immediately; no need to rest the steak.
Notes
Do not add oil to the bag—it won’t improve flavor and could affect searing.
Steak doesn’t need resting after sous vide; it’s already evenly cooked.
For added flair, baste with butter while searing or use compound butter at serving.
