Hi Ahron,

I sent a response yesterday but it did not post for some reason.  So will give it another shot.

Set the SV for 130..Medium..and let it run 2 to 3 hours.  When you are ready to eat take out your wife's steak and throw it on the grill.  When it gets close to where you want hers, throw yours on for a quick sear 30 seconds on a side.  This way both the steaks will be done at the same time and just the way you both want them
Lead a good life and treat your fellow man as you wish to be treated and the attendance at your funeral will be largely dependent on the weather

Hi Ahron,

Wow those look amazing!  Getting the right time/temp combo for the perfect steak can be a bit tricky.  Those ideas about taking steaks out at different times for different pinkness and also using a lid for more consistent temp/water retention are spot on!  I am including a tip/recipe for sous vide steak here.  Feel free to follow the recipe part if you want (yours look more tasty to me, btw) but what is really useful are the temp and time guides for pinkness and size of the steak.  I hope you keep experimenting and making beautiful food!

Ahron, the steaks look good to me; I like mine more medium. ;)

Now what I really like is your compound butter with the  salt & cracked black pepper. It gave a nice crust. I will be borrowing that idea for some steaks very soon!
