We can't afford super nice steak, but for my wife's birthday we splurged a little bit and bought a USDA Prime Ribeye. Picture 1 is when I pulled it out of the package the night before and salted it and let it dry brine overnight. Picture 2 is how it looked after pulling it out of the fridge and before coating it in pepper and tossing it in the sous vide. Picture 3 is after 2 hours at 129 in the water. Picture 4 is after tossing it in the cast iron ripping hot and adding an herb butter baste. Picture 5 is the final meal. What do y'all think of how I did? Tried some stuff that I've learned from this sub.

Looks great!
You really love your wife with that effort. Nice!
Fantastic birthday meal! Enjoy
Gotta love sous vide. Well-done. Well, it’s not well done, you done good. That’s an amazing birthday present in my book👌
Lovely steak, lovely effort for your partner. Great job 😊
Overcooked and the sear is weak but the nice thing about ribeye is you can screw it up and it’s still great
Perfect level of done.
Steamed part of it
Your wife will love you even more, well done!
I’d smash. The steak.
What did she say?
This the steak she wanted ? 😀
Ask her, don’t ask us…I mean, you’re the one that gets to sleep with her…or not!
I like a bit more sear but otherwise looks great!
I’d say the plate is missing mushrooms lol but other than that love the effort !
As a husband who also loves his wife, it makes me happy that you made your wife happy with a chunk of beef. Enjoy
Food cooked by someone who you love and who loves you. Can’t be bought at any price.
You tell us 😏 Looks fantastic though!
Lack of sear and overcooked for my taste but I ain’t ur wife 😂 my dad in law likes his steak well done 🤮 atleast there’s pink in there🫡👍🏻
r/nosear
It looks delicious! I hope you both enjoyed it.
I’d say maybe a bit more black pepper (if that’s her thing) but other than that, spot on!
Her boyfriend approves
Solidly done! How’d you season the green beans and was there gravy?
A+ my man, hope you enjoyed it!
More crust but if she loved it you done good
I think you may have misinterpreted her request…
hard to say by looks
Saved the marriage lol
Looks great! I’d cook it before I serve it to her though 🙃
If you ever get divorced lol I’m available but just for dinner good job👍
Guga always says that sous vide cooks the steak better. Now I see he was right
My wife loves a steak dinner for birthdays/mother’s days. I go to a local butcher and he hooks it up. 👍🏻
WHAT. SIDES?
Looks great. The steak but you need to work on the additions. But generally good. Where’s the sauce? Not being negative honestly. Sous vide is not generally good for steak but the steak looks great with its marbling. Tasty
