Really excellent marbling on those tenderloins bud.  Very nicely done.

Incredible meat ... but you know what I'm thinking!

Literally half the steak is well-done.

I'm with GM on this one.  Curious as to why you didn't go SV on those beautifully marbled cuts Booms?  They are screaming rare-medium rare edge to edge.
 
Anyhoo, lunch from Sunday. Was gonna posty up in the SV thread but I like my steaks in here.
 
Bone in ribeye

Pre sear

Vac bagged with about 1 Tbs butter.  I melt the butter in the water bath in the bag then smear it around to cover both sides and at least 3/4 of the bag.  Then freeze it and put the steak in and seal.

70 minutes at 54C (129.2F).  Brushed with chipotle adobo sauce and butter and post seared.  Served with fries tossed in chilli BBQ seasoning.

Med rare edge to edge even with pre and post searing.

SV has lost its novelty on some things, I do like it still but also time is an issue, quicker to heat up the weber and a 5-10 cook time

Sometimes you just want to caveman a steak and if the center is perfect, the edge being more well just adds beefy flavor.

And more chew and less moisture.  Easy to have to smokey notes from charcoal and the perfect temps from SV in one steak.
 
I was caveman on this sheeeit and it was YOU ( ) who got me into trying reverse sear and then some research pushed me over the edge into SV.  Can't, won't go back.

Haha... I guess I am channeling The TB... Booma can do no wrong lol... ok grey banding, shame on you Booma... throw it on the ground.

 

[Deathtosnails]

The great steak debate haha

Admittedly would of been a little better possibly with less cooked band but this steak/wagyu would melt in you mouth however it was cooked

Good looking ribeye and steak fries...

 

[grantmichaels]

It's OK - they don't all have to be masterpieces, certainly ...
 
Every time I torch + oven I could have SV'd and was too lazy to drag out the stuff ...
 
I've since learned to remove the aerator from the faucet to get it to fill the SV container much faster, but there's days where I'm too lazy to even unscrew the water filter, LOL ...
 
But, when it comes to steak, I'm on the SV side, over the grill ...
 
Too easy to get grill flavors from any combo of smoked pepper powder, smoked sea salt, sansaire steak magic, and/or 3rd party liquid smoke ... and too hard to make up for lost jus from grilling, IMHO ...

Holy $hit OS, that looks fantastic.

 

[grantmichaels]

how can water cooked steak taste as good as a real wood or charcoal cooked steak?


easily.

first of all, there's no water in contact with the meat ...

second, name a food item that oxygen improves? ...

hint: it doesn't ... ever.

oxygen is, by nature, the sworn enemy of freshness ... the penultimate staling agent.

nice cook on that steak, though ...
