Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 2 New York strip steaks (1 1/2 inches thick)
Seasoning:
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Cooking Enhancers:
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) butter
- 2 cloves garlic, smashed
- Fresh thyme sprigs
- Olive oil, for searing
Instructions
- Configure the sous vide apparatus to 130°F, ensuring precise temperature control for optimal medium-rare doneness.
- Thoroughly massage coarse salt and freshly cracked black pepper across the entire surface of the New York strip steaks.
- Carefully nestle each steak into individual vacuum-sealed pouches, incorporating a pat of butter, crushed garlic, and delicate thyme sprigs to enhance flavor complexity.
- Gently immerse the sealed pouches into the temperature-regulated water bath, allowing the meat to tenderize and absorb aromatics for 1-4 hours.
- After cooking duration, extract steaks from pouches and meticulously blot excess moisture using clean kitchen towels to prepare for searing.
- Position a cast-iron skillet over maximum heat, introducing a whisper of olive oil to create an ideal searing environment.
- Swiftly caramelize each steak side for approximately 30-60 seconds, developing a rich golden-brown exterior that locks in succulent juices.
- Transfer steaks from skillet, permit a brief resting period to redistribute internal moisture, then slice against the grain for maximum tenderness and serve immediately.
Notes
- Precision temperature control guarantees consistent doneness every single time when using sous vide cooking method.
- Pat steaks completely dry before searing to achieve an exceptional golden-brown crust that seals in delicious juices.
- Experiment with different herb combinations like rosemary or oregano to customize flavor profiles without compromising meat quality.
- For dietary modifications, replace butter with olive oil or avocado oil to create a dairy-free version that remains equally succulent and tender.
