Ingredients
For the Steak:
- 1 lb. ribeye or filet mignon steak (1–1.5 inches thick)
- 2 sprigs rosemary (optional)
- 2 sprigs thyme (optional)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
For the Garlic Butter Sauce (optional):
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
-
Fill your sous vide container with water and set the sous vide circulator to 130°F for medium-rare (adjust to 140°F for medium or 125°F for rare).
-
Pat the steaks dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
-
Place the steak in a vacuum-seal bag or resealable freezer bag. Add rosemary and/or thyme if using. Seal the bag using a vacuum sealer or the water displacement method.
-
Submerge the sealed steaks in the preheated water bath. Cook for 1.5 – 2 hours, depending on the steak thickness.
-
Make the garlic butter sauce. About 10 minutes before the steaks finish cooking in the water bath, melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until it begins to turn golden brown. Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper to taste.
-
Remove the steaks from the bags and pat them dry with paper towels.
-
Sear the steaks. Heat a skillet or cast-iron pan over high heat and add a tablespoon of butter. Sear each steak for 1 minute per side until a golden-brown crust forms.
-
Transfer the steaks to a cutting board and let them rest for 5-7 minutes. Slice the steaks and drizzle with the garlic butter sauce. Garnish with chopped parsley.
