I’ve been wanting to get into sous vide for years, finally went for it and got the Breville Joule Turbo and had to try a steak on day one, think I could’ve dried it a little more for a better sear but turned out delicious; anyone have any experience with searing torches or should I stick to my All-Clad D3 for the sear?

Ya done good, kid!
Looks good! I’ve tried a couple of torches. They were ok but not super great. Seems that I could taste the propane gas a bit with the big one that I had tried. I mostly use a cast iron griddle that has a grid side that leaves nice sear marks when I get it hot enough.
Not a bad start my guy.
Good job! For me it was a total game changer, because I’ve never been good at grilling, and now I can cook 2 in thick filets and have them be edge to edge medium rare (see pic! 🤣).
And I have actually been down the whole road of different ways to sear, starting with cast iron pan, then moving to various torches before landing on a harbor Freight weed burner connected to a 20 lb propane tank. Huge diameter flame so it does the job quickly and you can do many steaks or large cuts of meat quickly as well, and it will also sear no matter how flat the steak is or isn’t, which was a problem in the cast iron pan. Also, I cook a lot of tri-tips and they are rounded on the top, but the torch doesn’t care because flame gets everywhere 😉
