SV some sirloin steaks but have a problem

[smokininidaho]

I want to sous vide some sirloin steaks but have a problem. I like mine medium rare and wife likes hers well done. New to sous vide, so would I just sear hers longer or? Thanks for any advice.

Yes you’ll want to sear hers longer. You should run the Sous vide at 120-125 for That process then sear off the steaks to final temp. Make sure to dry the meat off once out of the SV before searing.

Same situation in my house and we love sous vide steak. I just start with my wife's steak at her desired temperature and give it an hour or so head start. Then I dial down the temp to 133 and throw my steak in with hers for an hour and fifteen. Yes, hers is in there for a while but that's no problem. I sear them quickly together and we both get what we want.

So I have to be the guy that suggests a new wife?

Same issue here... Daughters are cool tho.

Thanks everyone for your replies. I like your idea billy mainly because I don't want to burn the hell out of it and dry it out, not sure if that would happen. Would not be a problem to do the steaks the way you stated. I was planning to do mine medium rare 130 for 4 hours before searing. I saw a guys post that he says he goes up to 10 hours on sirloin steaks as they come out really tender, that may be a little overkill not sure, any thoughts on this?

I don't do too much sirloin, maybe that's why my times are shorter, but I reckon you'd be fine with a few hours at each temp. I just find that the texture gets a little weird if it's in the tub too long.

thats how I make it work. mine barely touches the pan, wifes cooks to 140 ish to keep her happy.

I usually just cook them all rare & the folks that like med or done. I either nuke them for 20-45 seconds or if you want you can put them on the grill. I also use a weed burner to put a crust on them.

If you look around there are 2 camps on SV for steaks. Some say SV steaks best thing ever and others that SV makes no real difference. I tend to think the latter and have never tried. What say you?

 

[billy brown]

I think sous vide shines for a nice thick steak. It's hard for me to get that edge to edge perfect doneness on the grill with a real thick steak.
