Astounding find at my local Central Market. One of the craziest prime filets I’ve stumbled upon. In first image, the filet is frozen before vacuum sealing in order to maintain those laser level surfaces.

    Steak was prepared sous vide, 3hrs @ 123f. Rested 20min before a cast iron sear in wagyu tallow.

    Damn my man, amazing!
    Question though: I love steak as much as anyone, and would always want it to be perfect. Still, how can someone wait 3hrs for a sous vide?

    Whenever I cook steak, I just want to get it done and eat it.
    Sometimes I even struggle to let it rest!
    I commend your patience!

  3. I would only sous vide a filet for 1.5-2 hr max

    Looks very good, and you definitely got the crust. I’m curious as to whether it’s just the lighting in your picture, but based on appearances it looks like you cooked this to about medium. Unless that was your target, you might want to check the calibration on your sous vide or possibly you picked up a lot of heat transfer when searing—though you did all of the right things to avoid that, so I’m kind of at a loss.

    To be clear, would happily smash, but I shoot for no more than medium rare on filet.

    The top and bottom sear look amazing, doneness is perfect, but the sides seem neglected. Is that intentional?

  6. Out of curiosity, did this steak really need sous vide?
