I am interested in sous vide but always wondered how much better it could be than searing a roast in the frying pan then cooking it 2.5 hours in my old school roasting pan with lid. So it just cooks in a plastic bag in a water bath?

This makes me want to make pot roast with carrots and potatoes this week LOL

My favorite way to cook steak is grilled, next is with on the stove searing/pan in the oven/ or searing it entirely in a pan on the stove while basting constantly with butter.

I love to cook and it seems you do as well Gary!

Oh yeah I love to cook. Everyone around here knows that lol.

But yes sous vide is an amazing way to get perfect steaks. You can add herbs and butter to the bag to get a head start on flavoring your meat. Then butter baste on the stove with the same herbs to reinforce those flavors. It’s like reverse searing/reverse pan roasting. By the time you pull it out of the water bath it’s already at the perfect temp. You just have to put a sear on it. Or you can even use a torch to give it that grilled look. If you ever get a sous vide machine just remember the quicker you sear the outside the better. Because as I said earlier, it’s already done.

You guys are all fucks. I'm going to sear it/brown it (are they the same techniques?) in my piping hot cast iron pan of peanut oil for like 1ish 2 ish minutes each side, throw some shit on it whilst i'm doing that, then into the oven at like 425 for like 8-15minutes? Thats the jizz of it right?
Yup, without the jizz it just won’t be the same.

Be sure to poke it with your wiener at about 5 minutes in the oven to check it’s temp.

I could be wrong ... but "petite filet" is from the chuck and is not named for tenderness, but shape. However you prepare it, I hope you'll tell us how it turned out. I find the "petite filet" name misleading. Was it like $6 a pound?
It says 9.99lb but all the others were like 19.something and this was like 12.something. Which is why I think they fucked up the weight or the unit price. Which is why I bought a piece of meat that wasnt 5.something lol.

I'm no expert, but I think it turned out really fucking good. The little one likes it. The recipes called for a little rarer than we're both use to eating. In China, you cook it until it can't kill you. But I guess this is meant to be eaten a bit rare. So I did a happy medium of 19 minutes in the oven at 425. Still pretty rare, unless that's just the color but damn it's good. My wife would be freaking out lol.
