I just wanted to share my gratitude for this sub and offer up some humble Thursday night results. I like it rareish and tender and this sub helped me turn a $20 cut into what tastes like a $50 cut.

    Thank you for your picture post to r/sousvide. We want to remind everyone of Rule #5. Posts should be accompanied by something to foster discussion. A comment, a question, etc is encouraged.

    If you’ve posted a picture of something you’ve prepared, please explain why in a comment so people can have some sort of conversation. Simply dropping a picture of food in the sub isn’t really fostering any discussion which is what we’re all aiming for.

    Posts that are a picture with no discussion can and will be removed by the mods.

    Thank you!!

    Great inside but sear a crust on the outside to make it better

    Mods said to foster discussion, so it’s a sirloin that tastes like a premium tenderloin at 134 after being simply seasoned and frozen before being put in the bath. Cast iron after that for the sides etc. Thanks again to the community and I do play around with time and temps and cuts so today was more of an experiment turned delicious.

    A little blue for me but if you like it, all that matters! Make sure to dry off the steak after taking it out of the bag so you get a nice crust.

    I agree with the “dry it” comments. What’s worked well for me is sticking my bathed items on a wire rack and then placing them in the fridge. It cools the meat so that I can sear it longer for a better crust, but it also dries the outside a bit which creates an even better-er crust.

    I always sous vide my filets. Kind of unnecessary but they never turn out too raw

    You paid $20 for a hunk of sirloin?
