SOUS VIDE RIBEYE FOR TACOS

[Sowsage]

Well I had to try another thing in the SV. It was taco night and I had a real nice ribeye I thought I would try . it came out really good. Very tender and the fat just melted in your mouth like butter.

Set the SV at 132° for two hours. I put the steak in the bag along with a chilli lime marinade.

Into the pot

Two hours later I pulled it out and wiped the excess marinade off then into the cast iron for a hard sear.

On the cutting board to rest before slicing

All sliced up and into the tacos. We did some nachos to go along with it.

The steak came out perfect. Only thing I wish i would have done is sear it on the grill. But it was cold and too windy. I'm definitely liking this SV unit. Cant wait to try something else! Thanks for taking a look!

That ribeye looks perfect Travis, nice piece of work. I started out charring in a CI skillet and it works great, I loved the way it made the entire house smell. My fondness of the aroma wasn't shared by she who I share all with. I then went to the weber for charring, does great, but I didn't like eating up coals for a two minute fire. When I got my SQ36 offset I picked up a weed torch to get the firebox started up, then started using it to get the char on my SV steaks. I love doing things this way, I get as much or as little char as I like, and it's always fun to be playing with fire. Like, RAY

We do a lot of skirts and flanks for tacos. Let me know what times you decide on and how it turns out!

Very nice Travis. I keep reading all the SV post - for years I've just scrolled right over them but now I'm looking and paying attention. Those tacos look great.
It's only a matter of time until I join the club. Y'all keep posting - I'm taking notes.........

We love our lodge stuff. Have the big pan I think its 14" or 15" and then the pot with the lid thad doubles as a skillet.

Considering buying one but waiting to see better first hand results. I am also eyeing a 1800F propane boiler... I like a WICKED GOOD sear and NO WAY you could do that inside the house. Most sears I see posted (your is pretty good tho) are way too weak for me. I actually use a clip on fan for like 30m to dry it well so the sear is better. Wife thought I was nuts at first. One time I fanned some grilled shrimp (for tacos BTW) and both us were amazed how much better it was.
