before searing. I tried 129, 132 and 128. 128 was the best of the 3 imo. 132 was too cooked for my liking. (this last week with 3 separate NY steaks)

But it's the truth. Cast iron done right beats Sous Vide everytime.

Sous vide + cast iron wins every time

Just use a meat thermometer. Perfect medium rare on the cast iron.

You can’t get coast to coast pink on a cast iron. Gray banding no matter what

But you get a funky texture with Sous Vide. Not a fan.

But gradiation is good, it makes the meat taste better and have a more natural

What cut? And what do you have to work with for searing?

Sorry to say, but with those browning tools, you are not going to be all

Do you have a propane grill? If not go to the stovetop with a frying pan

This is what I do. Not ideal, but it works. Turn it on high, use butter, and 1

cast iron is better, but you can use a frying pan as well.

You can finish in the oven with the broiler

Stick with NY strip, sirloin, Tri tip, or tenderloin. Avoid Ribeye

Agree on the rib eye. still cooks great but not as great as a NY

Finish it with a blow torch or a cast iron pan.

cook it on a grill like it's meant to be. It will taste better

Be sure to season with salt, pepper and garlic powder before it goes in the bag.

Cook the whole steak rather than just the tips
