Actually, I’m going to take a pass on sous vide. I’ve had steaks cooked sous vide before, and as I alluded to above, I don’t really see the need for that, at least for the steaks I cook and how I cook them. Plus, that would require the purchase of more hardware, and after bringing Smaug home, I think I hit my allotment for the year.
Based on this experience, going forward, I’ll probably only do a reverse sear for my wife’s steaks, just to give it a head start for cooking so she can have her medium well steak.
