After stalking this thread for a while I had a go at my new sous vide machine for the first time. Pretty happy with this, cooked at 55c for 2 hours and seared all over for a minute or two.

It turned out very soft and buttery so can’t complain much, maybe I’d drop it a degree or two next time to make it more rare, but overall pretty happy.

    It looks good. If you’re wanting a more uniform pinkness with less grey band go harder on the sear, put a grate over the top of a charcoal chimney when it’s rippin hot and sear it there.

    The SV looks great, but the sear? I use hi temp oil like Avocado and go “super hot/min side. But your steak is just yummy
