    here you go


    How to, Hot Tub Steaks

    I do this a lot, I don't check for the internal temp to be 100, I just keep the water around 100 for an hour. When you put your steak into the ziplock, leave the zip 1/4 open and pull the meat and bag below water level until the opening is just above water then finish zipping it. This will force out almost all the air and allow maximum water contact to the meat. Try to get 700 dome for your sear, I do steaks for 90 seconds a side if I have intense heat. Let them rest for at least 10 minutes under foil. -RP

    What is going on behind the scenes with hot tubing the meat first? Just curious what this is doing to the meat. Thanks.

    Thanks, one more question, do you season steaks before or after Hot Tub? :):blush:

    What it does is brings the internal temp of the meat to aprox 100 degrees needing only a sear and a rest to complete the cooking to medium rare. -RP
