How to cook the perfect steak like top restaurants do. I use a sous vide machine and like mine to be cooked rare (but the OH likes them med/rare).
My steaks here are rib-eye that I bought from Tesco (didn't have time to go anywhere else). I asked them to cut them about 1.5" thick.
The numbers correspond to the photos.
1. Season your steaks with salt, pepper, crushed garlic, Rosemary and thyme.
2. Use a vacuum/sealing machine to prepare them. I bought this from Aldi dead cheap.
4. Fill your deep (stewing) pan with warm water and put a sous vide machine in it and set it to 53 deg (rare is 49, med is 60).
I bought this off Amazon for about £80 (they are about £65 now).
5. Place the steaks in and make sure they are submerged.
6. Cook them for at least 45 mins, longer is better and you can't over cook them (I cooked these for around 1hr45m). Then take them out of the bags and pat them as dry as you can get them with kitchen roll.
They will look a little pale, but don't worry.
7. Get your frying pan mad hot and fry them off all over for about 1 min per side. Better still use a propane burner to char the outside. You could even BBQ them.
8. Enjoy them and eat the best steaks you have ever tasted that melt in your mouth. You can cut them with a spoon.
I quiet like that channel. My only real gripe is they will eat some delicious huge cut of something that must have cost an absolute fortune on PAPER plates with PLASTIC cutlery. Doesn't feel proportional to me !
I sous vide the costco flank steak with great results. The only step I'd add to the above is I ice bath mine when I take them out the water and sear from cold.
