But yes, Sous Vide REALLY helps with timing dinner. Once you know the "out of the water, through the pan, and onto the plate" time, all the other things, including visitors being chatty and late, simply don't matter. Make the sides when you want, the steaks will be ready....

Yeah, that part is just amazing as well. I am glad I got the 8 QT now (thanks KCUnited) as I could do a number of steaks for a small gathering. Doesn't get much easier than Sous Vide for getting things cooked correct and timed perfectly to the rest of the meal.

I am sold!

did you dry if off well before blackening it?

I like a harder sear and put mine in freezer for less than 5 minutes and throw it into hot coals and then rest a few minutes in foil before slicing/ serving...

Go ahead, Laugh but my sous vide steak is seared hard, it's not over cooked. quite the opposite it's blood red except for the outside edges,

Agree, there's nothing quite like it because, when everybody's busy, the flexibility keeps you eating great meals instead of something fast.

Shit I didn’t!!! I remember reading that too.

I seared each side for 1 minute in a very hot cast iron after the Sous Vide. However, it didn't taste as good as a steak cooked just in the cast iron. I seasoned the steak before placing in the bag but should I be timing the seasoning differently? Normally I season steaks with salt/pepper and let them sit in the fridge overnight before cooking.

Pre-sear.

Thaw it, sear it, bag it. Sear it again afterwards if you want for texture's sake.

But when you pre-sear, it creates some carmalization that then exists during the cooking process and gives you a richer flavor.

Sometimes I'll pull a steak straight out of the freezer and skip that step, but if I have time, I'll always try to pre-sear. It definitely improves the final product.

And yes, always pat dry before searing (with or without the sous vide - makes a pretty big difference, IMO)

Boneless, skinless chicken thighs have become my GO TO grilling meat... you still get that same tender, flavorful chicken meat, but they cook up in minutes lime a breast

So leftover chicken thighs from sunday
Fresh sweet corn sprinkled with Goya Adobo
Moms classic cucumber and onion pickles, a summer staple
Maybe a slice of buttered bread or two, we’ll see

An easy peasy, minimal effort or cleanup work night din din

Having some leftover Minsky's octoberfest pizza. It's a little weird but good.

I love crispy chicken skin too much to go boneless for grilling most of the time. But I do vastly prefer the b/s thighs over breasts for regular use.

I’m a boob guy. After I figured out how to butterfly them and cook them to the appropriate temperature I’m hooked.

Bacon cheeseburger sliders. Been watching numerous videos and I will come up with my own concoction. I think this will be awesome when I figure out what I want it to be. Also want to do some spicy deviled eggs as an appetizer. Wanting to experiment with something different in the culinary world. LOL!

I like this idea the next road stand I see in trying this on the corn.
