How long and what temps are you guys doing rubbery steak?  Sounds like maybe too long. 

Tonight's steaks were in the water for 1.5 hours at 133 degrees, then seared on the egg. 

105 for an hour, then Sear 2 min/side for a just south of MR. Increased sear time for more done.

Do you sear on the grate or in cast iron? And that seems like a lot lower of a temp and shorter of a time than when I did it. May have to try again...

Either screaming hot CI or screaming hot blackstone(more recently for easier clean up)

Screaming hot low grate in your cooker works too. Just a little less crust. Caveman also works.

Either way, it's easier to cook longer than to uncook...

That may be my issue all around. I'll give it another shot @theyolksonyou

@Jeremiah I was a reluctant convert to SV; my experience is much less then most on here, but I’ve had the best luck with cheap cuts, like eye of the round/flank. Agree that it’s worth it even for just reheating bbq 

Hans61

Oh the soft boiled eggs sv are great spread on toast too :-)

I’m sure the Falcons are just lulling the Patriots into complacency here.

Let's try this again...

Just put this chunk of pork on the XL with @YukonRon's peach wood chunks. The smoke smells really nice. Apricot preserve on the pork as I couldn't find peach anywhere this time. Looking forward to this, started late so might be a late night to finish. Running at 320F now, just bringing it down after grilling sausages earlier. Should gradually drop over the next couple of hours. Been on 1 hour now, IT 115F.

Time was okay but temp sounds about 8 degrees too hot for beef... even a short egg time searing will raise the internal temp...  I usually start my beef at "rare" in SV and finish on the egg to 130 pull and let the temp come up to medium rare.

@Jeremiah The last SV cook I did was a tomahawk ribeye. It was an upper 2/3 choice steak that weighed about 2.75 pounds. I put it in the SV bath at 129 for seven hours. Then I took it out, dried it well and coated with my favorite rub. After that, seared on the egg at about 550 degrees until I had a nice crust. 
Everyone raved about it. A steak that thick doesn't rise in temp much during the sear.
More cooks may not change your mind, we all have our preferences. It might be best for custard deserts and heating leftovers?

Wondering if there are places where you can put a 15 year old up for adoption...

I think @YukonRon can assist. He's got a basement with a locked door.

I think with the latest stats, you only have 12 years left.

@blasting - At the risk of further damaging your evening, you will not clear this challenge for several years.  First thing to appreciate, is "You never stop being the parent".  And this is for the duration.
I have two now 26 and 30 yr old sons.  The younger one learned the smart a$$ teen behavior from his brother and started the program a couple of years earlier (in the neighborhood of 13-14 years old).  Supposedly they grow out of it.  With my two data points, the older one did make the transition at around 21-22 years old.  The younger is the poster child for a true millennial attitude-wise.  I'm not sure when the light will go on.
That is why beer and bourbon were created.

Sounds like they learned from the best. Hahahaha.

Do you have a military school in your state. If so, send for their literature and when you get it just set it out on a table in plain site, no need to say a thing.

I ordered extra tartare on the tuna burger.

They just plop it right outta the can, apparently.

Did 3 loads of food on the 36" blackstone. 

All for recipes and meals to be consumed later in the week.  

One full load diced potatoes

One full load of peppers and onions

One load of stir fry consisting of peppers onions broccoli mushrooms ground beef carrots and liquid aminos 

Came back outside and my 8 year old was squirting water on and scraping it all down.   

Raining buckets today so we were in the garage barn thing.

Wow, you actually resized the person too.  I didn't know you were that short.  

Also, I'm amazed at the space you have with nothing in it?  I'm really doing something wrong in life.

Full disclosure

That side was just emptied so I could power wash the floor.  I will not show you the other side or upstairs of the barn at this time.  Disaster.

My BIL told me it world be a year before I got organized.  I am starting to believe.

Okay, so, just say "all is well Matthew", and I'll be okay.  My garage, err, house and garage, looks like it upchucked all over the place.

Our daughter just wrecked her car. It never ends. I would lock her in the basement, but she would drink all of my wine in the cellar.

Man I am sorry to hear about this as I know you have been struggling to keep cars on the road. Probably setting you back a little on the home rehab project.

What is the score card look like now? Is she gaining on your son's stellar driving record? Laughing with you my friend....not at you on this one.
