Second time searing with the torch. I was trying to avoid overcooking this time around by making a few adjustments. New York strip at 132F for 2 hours with mushrooms and onions cooked in port wine and butter.

Nice. Did you cool the meat before torching. My invitation didn’t make it BTW

Very nice! Any beginner tips for using the torch to sear a steak? Just got one, but intimidated!

Try searing before SV. Then when you are ready to eat, recrisp the crust in a hot pan and by hitting it again with the torch, except you’re not trying to develop the crust, just crisp it.
You do have to make absolutely sure you do not scorch any part of the meat because it will SV in that carbonized flavor the whole time it’s in SV. Otherwise the flavor of the sear infuses and makes it much better.
Also, to recrisp the crust is super quick, literally only thirty or forty seconds per steak. I find to properly torch sear a steak out of SV takes a lot longer than that, and if you’re having people over and you’re trying to sear a bunch of steaks, it can take half an hour. This way, it’s super quick.
