So just to be clear, by 'reverse sear' you mean that you sear first then sous vide? Or the other way around? [Reply]

That and there are normally veins of fat that are unpleasant imo with sous vide. This may be choice vs prime decisions as well. Just my preference with multiple methods.

I have never done a steak that way myself guess I'll need to try.
You should try smoking, then CV, then sear. Normally, I just smoke and sear just cause I have a great setup to do so.
This weekend its ribs and chicken. Labor day, Butt Roasts and whatever over labor day. 3 hour smoke, 15 16 hours in the drink then an hour at 350 on the smoker.

It was interesting to learn that AJ Foyt has attended 65 Indy 500's. Here's to our "resident legend" on such a remarkable feat.
I am not sure that watching it on TV, in a couple of hours, wasn't better than sweltering in the sun from daybreak till the early evening, but a TV can't replicate the engine sounds or the crashes, as the cars fly by faster than you can spin your head. [Reply]
