Hopped on the Sous Vide band wagon

So since I was away for Valentines weekend I planned on making some Filets when I returned, but the weather outside was not cooperating and I needed an excuse to use my sous vide anyways.  So 128 degrees for 2 hours then seared in the lodge cast iron... Came out delish, next time will preheat the cast iron longer at a higher temp to get a better crust.... Can't wait to try some chicken breast for the week of lunches.

    Not sure if you did, but pat the steaks dry before you sear.

    I also like a little oil in the pan and get it just starting to smoke.

    @mickey they came out great, perfect solution for wanting a great steak when the weather or errands get in your way.  I had to run a few errands yesterday and the weather wasn't great so I popped them in the hot tub for 2 hours and seared then when I returned home.


    @ozzie_Isaac thanks for the advice, I patted them dry but I only rubbed them lightly with oil..next time I will oil the pan for sure.  Also I bought a pre-seasoned cast iron but I think it still needs some time to become fully seasoned/non-stick
