I'll also add that the steak is cooking in its own juices while it's in the bag. You can also throw in some garlic, butter, and other herbs to really give it some flavor.

Think about boiled Ribs vs long and slow ribs???
That's about the best way to describe it.


Not the same thing at all. The meat isn't being boiled at all. It's not even touching liquid.
Its being precooked. Boiled in a bag, steamed in the oven, boiled straight in water.....its all the same.
You've exposed yourself


Not the same at all. You said it was like dumping ribs in a crockpot to boil and that's factually not correct whatsoever.

There is no such thing as being precooked.. it's just being cooked, by a different method. Microwaving is also a method. The sous vide method, for steaks, is a good method. The microwave, or boiling steaks, would not be. You've exposed yourself as an idiot.

I love my Joule sous vide for all the reasons mentioned above but also It's awesome for reheating hamburgers. Burgers don't ever get dried out. I've cooked some perfect burgers.

If you blanch bacon or sausage it's being precooked.

I'm about as hardheaded as anybody on this board and an absolute stickler about the cooked quality of any meat I eat. I bought a sous vide cooker 2 1/2 years ago for myself when I bought one for my stepson for Christmas. After using it one time, my Weber grill was retired to the garage. From chicken breasts and steaks to wild game including duck, goose, and sandhill cranes, the sous vide produces the most tender meat I've ever eaten and the food is uniform in temperature throughout. No knife needed for most meat, cuts with your fork. I can add any flavoring needed including smoke. I'll never stand outside in the heat grilling again. Nothing is too big to cook sous vide if you can get it in a vacuum sealed or Zip Lock freezer bag and get all the air out. I've cooked steaks for 20 using an ice chest to cook in. Every guest I cook for is blown away. Enjoy life a little and try new experiences. I prefer the Anova brand cooker which is less than $100 at Amazon. Ryan Jordan was correct above about meat quality. You can buy a cheaper cut of meat and achieve outstanding results. Instead of ribeyes, try top sirloin cooked sous vide at 136 degrees for medium/medium rare. Cook at 130 for rare and 142 for medium well. And oh yeah, throw your meat thermometer away. You won't need it. BTW, I have not done ribs sous vide but I have done several Boston butts that were great (took 2 gallon Zip Lock bags and the ice chest to cook the butts).

People keep telling me to try this. I'm usually not this skeptical about trying new ways to prep food. But I haven't taken the leap.

Maybe I'll experiment with this later this summer. I keep hearing great things about airfryers too and how they use less oils. May get one of those too.

See my other post in this thread and go for it. You won't regret it. We had given up on dried out grilled chicken breasts. The sous vide has me buying them in bulk at Costco now. The one problem is having to cook rare and medium well done steaks at different temps. I cook the med well first, then reheat them if necessary with the rare cooking. They will not cook more but will stay warm. Another advantage is being able to cook frozen meat without thawing first. Just double the cooking time. No one will be able to tell the difference.

Oven to reheat a steak


Maybe I'm odd, but I love a grilled left over steak cold out of the fridge.

No, but judging by recent posts, there's a few other Cro Magnons here.

Sous vide sounds great. I'd honestly like to try it. But there's just something about getting the fire right on my smoker and sitting outside With the wife with all the good smells with a cooler and watching the grill while my kids ride their bikes around.

Try the ribs man. You won't be disappointed. I picked up some nice beef ribs today. (at local Kroger, imagine that). Will sous vide, then throw on pellet grill and top off with some nice Korean bbq sauce.

I can get on board with this.

You're not alone. I ate lots of it with a pinch of salt as Mom was prepping dinner.
