The sous vide takes steak and scallop making to a whole new level....

Fantastic cook! What temp did you sous vide?“There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body.”

@Hans61: steaks were Lobels prime filets that i got as a gift. Sous vided them at 118, then seared on ci for 90 seconds per side and rolled them along the edges in the bottom of the pan to char up the bacon for another 30 seconds per 1/4 turn...perfection was achieved
The scallops were sous vided at 124F and they were cooked up in the pan with some bacon fat and were cooked for 30 seconds per side.
By the way all the meat started out frozen tonight. It took about 30 mins to get the steaks sous vide temp perfect and maybe 20 mins to get the scallops right.
Awesome awesome meat tonight.... -
What a great meal!Wisconsin, lbge, MM, kab, pig tail flippers, bear claws, and more rubs than I will admit to.

I'm new to sous vide and have only done steaks so far. First couple of times they were very good and enjoyed by all. Really makes getting the doneness foolproof. Last time I used a method I saw on a sous vide website that called for seasoning(olive oil, kosher salt, coarse black pepper) and searing 60 seconds on each side and then put them in the bath. After 1 1/2 hours at 125, removed and seared again in butter for another 60 seconds each side. They had more flavor than the steaks seared only at the end.
Yours looks great and I'll definitely add scallops next time.

Thanks @Webass! The scallops were put in ci pan right after steaks were removed and with some of the bacon drippings left over after the steak sear made the scallops unbelievav
Let us know how yours turnsnout... -
Yep, that's a grand slam. Not the Dennys kind either. Nice!
-
Perfection!

thanks Big Green Egg Bretheren!
Honestly, i would not have known about all these extra tricks, such as sous vide, proper meat temps, cast iron searing, etc without this forum.
So, hopefully someone out there, either a newbie to eggimg or a seasoned veteran can learn something from whatever meager comtribution to this forum i can make....
One other interesting note: the Lodge Double Dutch 5Q is really easy to clean, if the instrux are followed... Hot water, non metallic but stiff bristle brush and then completely dry it and wipe with oil and it os ready to go
That broccoli cheesy garlic DO concoction was a big hit with my son, who tends to be a picky eater
