With backstrap steaks you'll only need a couple hrs. I've found with hindquarter steaks you'll need longer. At 3/4 inch thick make sure you're pan is screaming hot as they'll over cook quickly during the sear.
Awesome. Did you cut those steaks yourself? I butcher all my own deer/elk/ etc so I'm curious. Looks like slices from the hind quarter?
I usually do 135 for me and 147 for the wife. Backstraps usually only get 2 hrs or so, but steaks from other cuts like hind quarter I'll usually do at least...
I've done it a few times. I usually do 160 overnight in the SV, then take them out and put them on a rack in the fridge uncovered overnight, then quick fry in hot oil. very tender, very crispy.
I have an Anova from a few years ago, 800W I think. It has bluetooth but not wifi. I used the bluetooth twice, ever. Pointless feature for me. I like the anova since you can use it without any other devices. It works great, I wouldn't want one with a permanent clip on it, I have a cooler...
I've done them several times. Yes, they do hold together well and don't fall apart. Tenderness isn't goal with a SV burger, its consistency of temp throughout the meat. The first time I cooked them the same temp as I like my steak, 131. I found them too rare for my preference, they were quite...
I did some andoullie, some kielbasa, and hot dogs. I smoked them for a few hrs at a low temp, maybe 120/130ish I don't remember exactly. mostly to impart smoke flavor and dry the casings. I took them back out and put them in the fridge overnight. Then vac sealed and SV at 140 for a couple hrs...
looks delicious. One of our favorites in our house. I'll often do a french dip style sandwich with horseraddish and cheese. Most of the time if I have it prepped, its straight from the freezer into the bath.
I wrapped a couple times, they were pretty good, but I prefer not wrapping. Less to mess with during the cook and still very delicious. I didn't feel like wrapping them gave me any advantage. Your ribs look awesome.
Check out this experiment on salt....

I've found that pork dramatically benefits from a few hour dry brine before sous vide.
I've done babybacks a couple times SV, then finished on the grill with some smoking chunks. I far preferred just the good old smoker. They were ok. Tender, juicy, but just underwhelming in flavor. Maybe I just need to experiment more, i've done a lot of online reading about them and lots of...
