How do you guys reheat steak with SV?

I don't like to change the doneness, I just like to warm it up.

I reheated a 2" Tomahawk today that was cooked on Sunday to MR.  I SV'd it at 132 for about an hour (It went straight in fridge after searing and cooling a bit).

Steak was awesome, but I am now concerned about it not being "safe".  Any issues just warming it up?  This is what I have done for about a year now, but want to make sure I'm not risking anybody.

     Lol! Not yet.  Based on tonight's experience, I haven't even mastered potatoes yet.

    I cut mine in a cross section manner to 1/2” thick and then regrill them. Since I cook 1-1/2” -2” steaks, I get 3-4 new steaks! Mmmm

    In regards to food safety, this is a reliable reference.

    While its not targeting reheating specifically, an understanding of how time/temp impact pasteurization may help answer your questions.

    Honestly, I don't recall ever reheating a steak. Cook steak. Eat steak. The end.

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    I rarely eat leftovers in their original form. A piece of steak or chicken is more likely to get chopped up and seared hard on a griddle for tacos or fried rice.
