Looking for Time, Temp, and Vacuum Bag Ingredients for Sous Vide Lobster

I attempted my first sous vide lobster tail this week. I put in a couple of tablespoons of butter, a dash of salt, and some fresh taragon in the vacuum bag and then put in the sous vide machine for 30 minutes at 140 degrees. I did a slight sear on the egg (about 30 seconds per side) at 500 degrees. It had a nice flavor but was a little chewy. I would greatly appreciate any input on the best way to sous vide lobster tails.

Google is your friend:140 is too high especially for 30 min. Looks like Modern Chef recommends cooking at 122 for ~15min, but other commenters say 125 for a bit longer is better."America has only three cities: New York, San Francisco, and New Orleans.

I have not perfected a sous vide or egg method but I have perfected a stove top. I take the meat out of the shell. On the very LOWEST setting (this keeps the butter from breaking down) on the stove, melt enough butter to just about cover the lobster meat. Season butter with your favorite seasoning, a dash of sugar, and a little lemon. Still on the lowest setting submerge the shells for about 30 minutes. Remove the shells and add the lobster meat - still on the lowest setting and cook meat until lobster is done. Sweet lobster. For the SIL birthday I fixed the lobster this way but then I made French bread crumbs, coated the lobster in the crumbs, quickly fried the lobster in oil and served with the butter that the lobster was cooked in. That was some good eats.Every day is a bonus day and every meal is a banquet in Winter Springs, Fl !

I'd try 128 for 20 minutes. No butter (but spices are fine) in the bag - you'll get a better infusion of flavor into the meat. Then brush with butter, sear on the egg. Serve with butter on the side for dipping. If it's chewy, it's overcooked.
