S V? Pre-Sear that steak!

[Jaxon]

No, I don't have my sous vide thingy...YET.  But we'll order one tomorrow.

In the meantime, I have been poring over all manner of YouTubes, especially on a site call Chef Steps...these folks are all about the science of sous vide along with beautiful (though skimpy) presentation.
They make the case for searing your steak BEFORE bagging it...even a day or 2 before you put it in the bath.  Don't go trying to poo-poo this idea without watching the video.  Then you can holler at me for peeing in the pool.

Here it is:

Interesting video, I've always post seared my steaks, I'll have to give that pre sear a try and see for myself.

Next time I do two I'll run the same test. I wonder if it works on other meats as well.

Pam, are you having trouble figuring out the s v method?  Is the learning curve pretty large?  I'll need to reconsider if it's hard to learn.

I always pre sear a cold piece of meat and then chill for 30 minutes or so. Then into the bath.

I guess like most things associated with taste, it's a personal preference. But to continue the conversation check this out.
