Description
A perfectly cooked sous vide sirloin steak that is seared to perfection.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 sirloin steaks (1/2 pound each)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 2 Tablespoons oil or butter
Instructions
- Fill the sous vide container with water and set the sous vide cooker for your desired degree of doneness.
- While the water comes up to temperature, season the sirloin steak with salt and pepper.
- Either seal the steak using a vacuum sealer or place it in a heavy-duty ziploc bag and use the water displacement method to remove most of the air from the bag.
- To use the water displacement method, seal the bag most of the way and slowly lower it in the water, letting the water pressure push out most of the air.
- Cook the steak in the water for 1 1/2 to 4 hours.
- About 5 minutes before you want to eat, prepare to sear the steak. Heat a heavy frying pan over medium-high heat on the stove.
- Remove the bag from the water and open it. Use a paper towel to dry the steak off.
- Add the oil or butter to the frying pan once it is hot. Then quickly sear the steak for 1-2 minutes on both sides to brown it.
Notes
- Refer to the table in the notes section for desired degrees of doneness.
