    So here’s two questions I still have…

    1. Marinade or not with steak? I did olive oil, balsamic, thyme, salt, pepper.

    2. What to do with bag juice? I’m thinking gravy is that the way?

    I know it sounds crazy but try 137 for a ribeye (or most fatty cuts). 131 is too low for to render the fat properly in a couple hours but that temp works great for filets or strips (lean cuts).

  4. Mai-Tai and a Swizzle, nice! Looks like homemade orgeat?

    Dear Tiki brother, I would strongly recommend the reverse-sear method over sous vide for Ribeye. I’ve A/B tested, compared and concluded the r-s ones are objectively better. “Better” meaning juicier with better-rendered fat while still being able to cook to what temp you like (even rare).

  5. Your swizzle looks awesome. I’m a 136 and planters punch guy.
