Sous Vide Steak Recipe
The Sous Vide Steak Recipe offers a reliable way to achieve perfectly cooked steaks by sealing seasoned meat with thyme and butter then cooking it precisely in a water bath. The process infuses gentle herb flavor while ensuring an even doneness throughout. After sous vide cooking, a quick sear in butter and oil adds a flavorful crust that contrasts with the tender interior. This method is well suited for thicker cuts like New York Strip and produces juicy steaks that can be cooked ahead and finished before serving.
