Sirloin cooked SV
« Reply #-1 on: January 02, 2015, 06:41:50 PM »
This was the protein I was most anticipating the result.

Hunks of meat were about 2 1/4 inch thick. So I put them in the hot tub for 5 hours at 131 degrees. Pulled them last night and tossed in the fridge.

Pulled from the bags, dried with paper towel, and let air dry in the fridge for a few hours.

Seared them in a screaming hot new De Buyer pan.



Cuts with a fork 8)


My wife and daughter think I made a deal with the devil to get such tender meat.???

My only question is that the center of the meat was at best room temperature when eating. I would like it slightly warmer. Are you all bringing your meat to room temperature BEFORE searing?

Pappy,
I have put the protein back in the pool to bring it back to the set temperature before taking it out of the vac pack and searing the meat.  That would probably help get that center temp to your liking.

I think you did a fantastic job with that steak.  I can forgive a little temp to a great tasting piece of meat.  There is always GRAVY that could be added, or not.

Nice looking steak mister!
I agree with Mike, cook a bit longer and maybe hotter. Don't throw on directly from refrigerator either, let it come to room temp.

Why not put it back in the sous vide to warm up then sear?
If you sear it longer you'll lose that wall to wall beauty.

I really can't wait for the UPS man tomorrow!

Cuz I didn't think of that???

My wife looked at me while searing and said "won't the inside be cool?". Had no occurred to me. She put hers in the microwave for 15 seconds.....worked.

I just sear just as soon as they come out of the bath so the IT is whatever the bath was.  However there are advantages to cooling the meat in the fridge prior to searing, but either method requires careful searing times/temperatures in my experience (which is still quite limited).  If I take right out of the bath and sear, then a screamin' hot pan (or infrared burner) for a minute per side is just about right.  If pulling from the fridge, I would sear at a slightly lower temperature for a longer time, which allows a better crust to form, and heats the meat through better.

Bottom line is that there is no substitute for experimenting with what works for your tastes.

I agree with reheating with the SV to the original cooking temp, I do that all the time with mine and get great results. ;)
