I removed the butter (second pic) now marinating it, few questions

  1. For how long should I marinate it?
  2. When sous vide, what temp? I saw some saying 135, others 145 and up to 175 degrees, which one is the recommended?
  3. How many hours?

Thank you in advance!

    Be wary of the person who recommended this. They’re trying to hurt you and your family.

    I’d go 135 for 2 hours, tops.

  3. People freak out about butter but it honestly makes such a little impact, included or not. But I hardly see anyone point out that raw herb in the bad will not break down and impart a cooked herb flavor. Vegetable cells will not break down under 180f and so you get a raw herb flavor when you include them in the bag. If you like that it’s fine, but it’s a much more pungent flavor than they’d otherwise impart when cooking.

    Personally prefer dry brine then 129 for 2 hours. After that pat it dry followed by 15 minutes in the refrigerator then season and sear with butter. No grey band and perfect medium rare.

    205 for 6 hours, then straight into the microwave on high for 5 minutes to finish it off. Let rest in the sink for 2 hours. Slice and serve
