I have wanted to try Sous Vide for years. I received one for Christmas and have been trying things to perfect my use of it. I struggle with a good sear on the stove top. I use cast iron with avocado oil so far. Tonight I cooked two NY strip steaks at 130f for 2hrs. Iced bathed for about 10 mins. I tried the broiler on my gas oven at 500f. Added some oil to the pan and let it preheat for about 5mins. I cooked for 2 mins per side. Results were ok. Any suggestions on how to improve.

Looks good, but did you cut it with a chainsaw?
It seems like you noticed all the people getting roasted for their (lack of) sear and reacted accordingly. Very nice
