Found a 23 oz t-bone in the freezer yesterday! I had already given it a bit of oak smoke, and sous vided it @130 for a few hours. Today it was close to being thawed, so into the hottub @130F until cook time.
Got the cast iron pan screaming hot on my gas one-burner. Made a mistake in putting Weber's Chicago Steak Seasoning on before searing. We love it on steaks but the garlic burns with the intense heat. From now on just salt until tabled! Anyway the steak came out perfect!
Plated with mashed and gravy from sv juices, and a great caprese salad!
A glass of cabernet and a wonderful close to a fine weekend!
