My little sous vide thread

Thanks kay jay! Love this thing...

Doing some cheap filets now.. I dont really care for steak but still going to give it a shot.. I like little medium well going to try 137 for about 2 hours.

As per other thread didn't want to bother w/tinfoil and pots.. This way is much easier just drain pot and put in closet when done..

Kicked 2nd steak up a few degrees and cooked for another hour... 137 is the optimal temp for the cut I had..

Doing some boneless top round steaks now. Managers special 2 for $4 @ butera.. Just some random charbroil seasoning. garlic, salt etc.. Also did one w/a little kick (trying new) tossed some spicy chili paste on top for a a different flavor.

Yea last ones I did @ 2 hours and turned out great was very similar size.. So basing off that..

Like the juices to stew a little more..

Nothing wrong with leaving them in for longer. That's the glory of it.

Really anxious to see what the chili paste does to the steak.. Seeing it really doesnt alter flavor just makes things taste better and spicy.. If anything brings out flavor.
