So boiling your steak is a thing now?

[vmax]

Ive got a military buddy...pilot type..so he is a little off...lol
He is always chasing the newest way to grill/cook
He was the 1st of my circle to get a Big Green Egg years ago and is always buying the latest and greatest

Well over dinner the other night he started talking about this new thing where you take your steak and seasonings and vacuum seal it up and apparently place it in temp controlled water where it brings the meat up to 350F and then...you take it out and still sear it on your grill before eating

They just went on and on about how good it was and I just nodded while deep inside I was dying a little thinking about ruining perfectly good steaks by boiling them..
Damn..just damn.

Think about the chemicals that can leach from the plastic bag into your steak...

Just grill it to rare with rub and olive oil. Takes no time at all and it’s juicy.

IIRC in funny pictures was Sous Vide hot dog in a condom.

Only if you are prone to putting your mouth over holes cut in public restroom stalls.

Since you mention this: a few years back, attending a BD party at a fancy New Orleans restaurant, I went to take a leak.

Two Lawyers were in the mens’ room, one chewing a cigar.

He came to the urinal next to me, put the saliva covered butt on the porcelain urinal edge, pee’d/zipped, and put the butt back into his mouth.

OMG, couldda puked. Thought “This A-H never studied bacteriology or watched a BR crew clean a fixture!”

I’m glad that story wasn’t going in the direction I thought it was

I heard that in New Orleans you have to pay extra for that.

Seems to me like he should just throw the damn thing on the grill In the first place. Probably be faster and taste alot better. Boiled meat is just wrong. It’s like choosing a date with a blowup doll when the option was a Dallas cheerleader.

It's not a fad. It's an old and cherished way to cook every molecule of any food to a perfectly precise temperature.

I've never committed to it because I love my steaks grilled or pan fried. For folks who have never gotten the hang of cooking a steak to the right level of doneness, though, sous vide is a foolproof way to cook a steak perfectly. I can certainly understand why some cooks use the method so extensively.

And, yeah, I heard that whoosh going over my head, too.

 

[Geezer]

I'm fixin' to put a couple of racks of ribs on the grill. I don't have a bag big enough to boil them in nor a pot big enough to boil them in. I guess I'll just go ahead and use the grill, it's worked perfectly the last 99 times I've cooked ribs.

You beat me to it.

I was gonna say Sous Vide is for people who don’t know how to cook meat to perfection.

I’ve had steaks cooked this way and they were delicious. Sous vide is a great tool. I don’t own one, but I can see why some people use them.

 

[FireInTheWire]

Here I’ll say it. There’s only one way to cook steak and that’s over open fire. With a delicious hardwood.

If it’s a really thick cut. Reverse sear is the king.

With the temperature we had yesterday evening, going outside to cook wasn't going to happen. DIL cooked several steaks this way, which were excellent.

Sous vide, basically under vacuum in French.

Been around for decades, most big time restaurants use the method before final searing. Until about five years ago it could cost $1k+ to get the equipment, until Anova starting selling them for under $100 +/-

I've had one for a few years, not for everyone, but does have it's uses. don't knock it until you try it ... best mashed potatoes you've ever eaten can be made sous vide, have a recipe if anyone is interested

Freezer bags are less of a problem, Healthwise, but use silicone bags if you're worried about using a plastic bag.

I use mine these days mostly for cooking the dog's meat with no seasoning.
