Ingredients
- 1 1.5-3 Inch Thick Porterhouse Steak
- 2 prigs rosemary
- 2 Tablespoons Beef Tallow or Avocado Oil or other oil with a high smoke point
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Pat the steak dry and brush with olive oil.
- Liberally season both sides of the steak with salt and fresh cracked black pepper. The thicker the steak, the more heavy handed you can be with the salt and pepper. Top with a few sprigs of rosemary.
- Place in a sous vide or vacuum seal bag and seal.
- Heat the sous vide water bath to 126 degrees. Sous vide the steak for 2 hours.
- Remove from the sous vide bag. Heat a cast iron pan with just enough oil or fat to just cover the bottom of the pan. Use an oil with a high smoke temp. Heat over high heat.
- Sear the steak for 45-90 seconds per side until a nice crust has formed on the outside of the steak. Remove to a cutting board and let rest for about 5 minutes. Cut the steak into slices and serve.
