Instructions

Prepare the Steaks

  1. Season both sides of the steaks generously with kosher salt. Press the crushed black and pink peppercorns onto the steaks to form a crust.
  2. Place each steak into a vacuum-seal bag or resealable freezer-safe bag. Add 1 tbsp butter and 2 sprigs of thyme to each bag.
  3. Vacuum-seal the bags or use the water displacement method for resealable bags.

Sous Vide the Steaks

  1. Preheat the sous vide water bath to 129°F (53°C) for medium-rare. (Adjust to 135°F for medium or 125°F for rare.)
  2. Submerge the bags in the water bath and cook for at least 90 minutes, up to 4 hours.

Sear the Steaks

  1. Remove the steaks from the bags and pat completely dry with paper towels. Discard the thyme, but save any juices left in the bag for the sauce.
  2. Heat a cast iron skillet over medium high heat until very hot. Add 1 tbsp high heat oil and sear the steaks for 30–60 seconds per side until golden brown. Sear the edges as well for about 15-30 seconds until the fat is golden brown. Remove the steaks and let them rest.

Make the Pink Peppercorn Sauce

  1. Reduce the heat to medium and melt the butter in the same skillet. Add the crushed pink peppercorns and shallot; sauté until softened, about 1–2 minutes.
  2. Add in the garlic and thyme leaves, let sizzle for about a minute, until the garlic is very fragrant. Then turn off the heat.
  3. Add the whiskey to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits. Let it simmer for 30 seconds to 1 minute to cook off most of the alcohol. Then turn the heat back on.
  4. Stir in the beef stock (and any juices in the sous vide bag), Dijon mustard, and balsamic vinegar. Simmer for 3–4 minutes, reducing slightly.
  5. Add the heavy cream and continue to simmer until the sauce thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 2–3 minutes.
  6. Whisk in 1 tbsp cold butter to finish the sauce. Season the peppercorn sauce with salt to taste.

Serve

  1. Slice the steaks against the grain.
  2. Spoon the pink peppercorn sauce generously over the steak and serve with your favorite sides, like creamy mashed potatoes, shoestring fries for steak frites, or roasted vegetables.

Notes

  • For the peppercorn crust, use a mortar and pestle or the bottom of a heavy pan to crush the peppercorns if you don't have something. Avoid grinding them too finely—a coarse texture is key for that bold flavor and satisfying crunch
