Posted by Ignatius Thornfield April 25, 2024

Background and History

Sous Vide New York Strip Steak offers a modern twist on a classic favorite, utilizing the sous vide cooking method for precise temperature control and unparalleled tenderness. Originating from the New York Strip steak—a beloved cut known for its robust flavor and fine texture—this technique ensures a consistently perfect steak every time, popularized in recent years by home cooks and professional chefs alike.

Ingredients

  • 2 New York Strip steaks (1 to 1.5 inches thick)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil or butter for searing (optional)
  • Fresh herbs (such as thyme or rosemary) for flavoring (optional)

Serves 2 people
Preparation Time  10 minutes
Cooking Time 1.5-2 hours

Instructions

Preparation

Season the New York Strip steaks generously with salt and pepper on both sides.

Vacuum Seal

Place each steak in a separate vacuum-sealed bag or a sturdy zip-top bag, ensuring they are in a single layer.

Sous Vide Setup

Preheat your sous vide water bath to the desired temperature:

  • Rare: 125°F (52°C)
  • Medium Rare: 135°F (57°C)
  • Medium: 145°F (63°C)
  • Medium Well: 155°F (68°C)
  • Well Done: 160°F (71°C)

Cooking

Once the water bath reaches the desired temperature, carefully submerge the sealed steaks into the water. Ensure they are fully submerged.

Cooking Time

Cook the steaks for 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on your desired level of doneness.

Finishing

After cooking, remove the steaks from the water bath. If desired, sear the steaks in a hot skillet with olive oil or butter for 1-2 minutes on each side to develop a flavorful crust.

Resting

Allow the steaks to rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring maximum flavor and tenderness.
