DRY AGED RIBEYE, SOUS VIDE, SEARZALL

[SmokinAl]

This is sort of a continuation of my 45 day dry aged ribeye thread.
I wanted to try Sous vide & torching it for a sear, rather than grilling it over charcoal.
So I took one steak, bagged it up with S&P, crushed garlic, & a couple pats of butter.
Set the SV at 125 & let it go for 2 hours, then hit it with the Searzall. After I torched it I poured the juices out of the bag over the steak. Here is a few pics!

I have to say the end result was much better than over charcoal. The meat was more tender & juicy. Next one I may try 120 for 1 1/2 hours, then hit it with the torch. Judy & I would have liked it a bit more rare. Anyhow if you haven't picked up a SV unit yet, I would highly recommend getting one. It sure made a difference on this steak! A BIG DIFFERENCE!!!
Thanks for looking!!

Wow, Al that looks great!

I use a harbor freight weed torch to sear after SV...sometimes it’s just so much easier and convenient.

Looks like a complete success Al. Just recently got the searzall, does a nice job.

have you thought of scraping off the big chunks of herbs before torching it? from past experience burnt herbs, garlic, black pepper, etc from being torched isn't very good eats. interior of the steak looks awesome though.

Looks great Al!

Gotta be careful with that flamethrower

Looks good Al.
Might as well whip up some creme brulee while you got the torch out.

I have used my weed burner too, but I was doing this in the kitchen this time, and the weed burner probably would have burned the house down!

I scraped most of the stuff off, and a lot of it stayed in the bag with the juice, so when I was done with the torch, I just poured the liquid from the bag onto the steak with a lot of the herbs & spices in it. So I didn't really notice any burnt taste from the herbs.

Thanks, yea it's really not as big a flame as you would think, it just spreads it out so you cover a larger area.

Point for sure.

Damn good looking steak! Points on that! I keep seeing all these awesome SV cooks and it’s about convinced me to pull the trigger on one! Wife might not be convinced though haha I’ve been working on trying to convince her I need a camp chef 600 griddle for a couple months now. Im getting close though. Baby steps

Thanks Chris!
The Searzall is really made to be used in a kitchen. Now If I use the weedburner to sear with, then it would definitely be outside.

Thank-you!
The SV circulators are pretty inexpensive now & if you catch one on sale, they can be quite cheap.
I have a CC flat top grill & love it, but the SV gets used a lot more than the flat top!
