I took my first stab at cooking something (steak) sous vide last weekend with… not so much luck. I tried again this weekend with a two pack of New York strips and it came out pretty damn good! Glad I didn’t get discouraged from the first failed attempt.

I seasoned with a bit of olive oil, coarse sea salt, and Kinder’s woodfired garlic seasoning and let it sit in the bath for six hours (just because) at 130°. Patted dry, applied a fresh coat of salt and seasoning, and seared both sides for one minute each on a cast iron with a little grape-seed oil. Added a small pat of butter to both steaks while letting it rest (only rested it because I misjudged how long it would take compared to the potatoes).

Side note: the wife’s Greek kale salad and my twice baked potatoes made for an amazing Saturday night dinner!

    On the topic of seasoning for sous vide, was me adding olive oil into the bag the right move?
