Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pound porterhouse steak about 1 ½ inch thick
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt or to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper or to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil divided
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • fresh herbs such as thyme or rosemary, optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the sous vide machine: Add water to the sous vide container or a large pot, set the Sous Vide Precision Cooker to (135°F/57°C) for medium-rare doneness. If you’d like to cook it less, see the guide in the post.
  • Season the steak: Rub the steak with 1/2 tablespoon oil on all sides.
  • Season both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Sous vide the steak: Add the seasoned porterhouse steak to a zip-lock bag together with optional herbs.
  • Seal all but one corner of the bag, and slowly place it into a container with cold water. Make sure everything below the zip-line is covered by water. Then seal the rest of the bag.
  • Place the bag into the water bath in the sous vide container. Make sure it is fully submerged. Cook for 1 hour.
  • When the timer goes off, remove the bag from the water bath and transfer it to the fridge or an ice bath. Let it chill for about 10 minutes.
  • Sear the steak: Remove the steak from the bag and wipe off the moisture with paper towels (Make sure the surface of the steak is completely dry before searing).
  • Season with more salt and pepper if necessary.
  • Place the cast-iron skillet on medium-high heat. Add the remaining olive oil. When very hot, add the minced garlic and steak and sear about 1 minute per side.
  • Cut the meat away from the bone and slice across the grain into strips. Then serve with potatoes and veggies.
