Sous Vide at 115 until done. Let sit until the center is 100 or so. Pan sear in a hot NON STICK pan flipping every 15 seconds until youâve accumulated the sear you like. Rare steak.

Sous Vide at 118 to 122 until done. Allow to sit until the center cools to 105 to 108.
Konru Grill stuffed with briquettes ( NO LUMP ) and lots of mesquite wood. When hot as hell sear 15 seconds and over until you have the desired sear.
Medium Rare Steak.

I donât have a sous vide set-up.
And I really prefer my steak on the grill.
But a quick sear in an iron skillet followed by a couple of minutes in the oven usually does it for me.

I tried it, and love sous vide for other things. But it was a big NO SALE for my wife. She likes a medium-rare steak on the rare side, but couldnât get past the solid red color edge-to-edge that you get with sous vide steak and a pan sear. It looked too alien; she likes to see at least a little gradient in the meat. So itâs pan sear only in this house for steak.
FWIW Iâd never pan sear in a nonstick pan. That chemistry breaks down and gets nasty at high temps. Cast iron is the way to go, or at least a seasoned carbon steel pan. Also, yâall forget the step of adding a pat of butter right at the end of the pan sear, for a little extra crust and taste.

UhâŚare you trying to change the subject?
Buttering steak is a no no in competition circles. Itâs restaurant shtick. Modern non-stick holds up to 500 plus but you should not go over 425 to sear. Sounds like your wife likes a âRare plusâ steak. If sheâs good with a gradient then you donât need anything but a stove and a pan as most experimental cooking is after perfection that includes appearance.
Thatâs medium. 130 degrees.

Gas grills are useless and gross. Good as an emergency heat source I guess but I live in Florida so thereâs none around my joint.

I go hotter, oven at 550, brush steaks with olive oil, then pop the pan (after 15 minutes in the over) onto the big front gas burner at highest temp, toss the steaks on. 45 seconds on side, flip, 45 seconds the other side, flip again, then put it back in the oven.
Cook for 6 or so minutes to desired level of done.
This said, I do boneless ribeyes for the most part.

Thatâs called âreverse searâ but Iâve not seen it done that way. Usually the method as laid out by Kenji is low temp oven ( most home ovens will go to down 170 ) with a resident thermometer that warns when desired temp is had. The idea is to get some control over the center and not get a roasted taste. The steak is then seared after the center is done. Usually in a stainless steel pan as that yields âsuxâ or âfondâ that can be used for a pan sauce. Conventional restaurant technique is sear cool meat in a pan first then move to the oven at 350 or âfinish it in the ovenâ technique.
Thatâs the method in the recipe portion of the Queer Eye book. Ted Allen, original cast. Give me a side of grilled onions and mushrooms and youâve got a date!

Super Tuesday (Part Deux) Prediction. Biden will win all 6 contests. The reason is that no matter the state, Biden leads among white and non white voters, rural and urban voters, working class white and college educated white voters, somewhat liberal and mod/con voters. The field is no longer split. Biden likely wouldâve won most every Super Tuesday contest but for a split field in CA, CO, UT. TX wouldâve been a 10 point win, not 4.5.
Here is the breakdown:
-
Mississippi - Biden will dominate here. 77%-22%. Could be an 82-18 race.
-
Missouri - Raw Poll average since Jan 1 is Biden 50%, Bernie 27%. Not much banked vote here. After reallocations based on drop outs + Bidenâs surge among the previously undecided, I have Biden winning 59.7% to 32.3% for Bernie.
-
Michigan - This state gets the most hype but itâs fundamentally no different from any other contest. Biden is leading among white/non-white, urban, suburban and rural voters. Raw polling avg since Jan 1 is Biden 47.6% to Bernie 30.8% which is saying something because polls before March 1 were pretty favorable to Bernie. Biden leads among early voters and e-day voters. After reallocations and swings, I have it as Biden 57%, Bernie 35%, Other 8%. What could make this tighter is if Bernie gets a big turnout of young voters among whom he still leads. However, his margin in some recent polls has dropped under 20 points. That could narrow the gap to high single digits, but Biden will win MI.
-
Washington - This might be the tightest race as Bernie leads among early voters and there is a fairly large banked vote (35%). That said, the danger for Bernie is Biden has led in the last few polls, leads among whites and non whites, and in the populous regions. After reallocations, I have this race as Biden 46.7%, Bernie 39.2%, Warren 6%, Other 5.9%.
-
Idaho - There are only 2 polls here, Biden +5 and Biden +15. The one poll with any internals indicates that Biden leads among whites and among somewhat liberal + mod/cons. I think that gives Biden the edge. This is a primary, not a caucus. Biden 53% Bernie 47%.
6, North Dakota - Only 1 poll has Biden winning by over 20 points. This is a caucus but it has absentee voting. The big wig Dems from ND have all endorsed Biden. I think Biden wins this, but more narrowly, 52%-48%.

And letâs always be clear: this has nothing to do with gloating. It has EVERYTHING to do with hoping against all hope that Sanders will accept the results and the math and the WISHES OF THE VOTERS and get the hell out of the race in a timely fashion and do everything he can to stamp out any conspiracy crap or other attempts to generate mass resentment over it that his supporters engage in.
