SV Strip Steaks

Why did I wait so long to ride the SV wagon?  Mrs 3969 got me a SV back in Feb for my birthday.  Between the SV and the IP my eggs  are feeling neglected.  The mini had the meat drips tonight.  


  Backing up a bit.  I picked up a couple of CAB Strip Steaks


Hit em with EVOO and SPOG and into the vac bag with fresh rosemary and thyme at 137° for 2 hrs.  


Then dried and on the mini at about 600°


And plated with a quick salad

    Great plate Matt.  You’re in for many more pleasant surprises.  Chicken breast, poke chops, veggies and of course chocolate pots.  Great cook.

    @bgebrent - the chicken breast are great.
     

    Chops were so so, carrots and green beans were incredible.

    I don’t prefer it anymore for steaks and use much more for chicken breast, pork chops and veggies.  Looks like you’ve explored as well.

    I actually prefer SV chicken over any chicken breast I’ve done egg only.  The texture is unreal. I’m not much on poke chops regardless of cooking method.  Veggies kick ass via SV

    I use SV for 2" Pork chops. My gosh they rock.
    Your meal is awesome. I like SV on roasts of beef then smoked. 
    You have only begun.

    Ron I agree.  Not much room for SV with steak unless you’re Matt.  On thick pork chops, chicken breasts and veggies it’s a game changer.

    May be heresy but, egg or any other grill for that matter never sees steaks anymore. 
    Dry your steaks, season lightly and then a >500ºF CI sear for a just coloured surface, 30 seconds each for sides and edges. Then into the SV bag with some seasoning. When ready to serve, pull from SV and finish sear to obtain the desired crust. 
    I use ghee as oil in the CI as it has a high smoke point. 

    Your steaks look great, maybe a need a smaller egg, as to get the medium up to temp seems to use a lot of lump.
