As I plan to make steak today, this video comes out. Timing was good.

I do agree that starting with a room temperature steak does not help with making the crust as it tends to overcook. Sous vide makes it worse. The way sous vide everything does it is by using a flame thrower, but they found that propane is the best choice as using a butane torch tended to give it a strange flavor.

If the weather holds, I'm going to try the cold steak method today.

Interesting that despite saying that resting a steak is not needed, they both still will do it.

You don’t have to go directly from the water bath to the outside finish. A lot of people will cool the sous vide cooked steak in the fridge. The do the outside finish.

I usually don't spend the time to do that. I do try to cool it down a little bit, but in the room. I don't put hot stuff in the fridge. I may play a little bit in winter with the natural outside fridge.
 


Following Troy's lead and edited my post as well.

My steak experiment didn't go so well. First off, they were too thin at about 1/2 to 3/4 inch. But the big mistake was that I put both into my cast iron pan at the same time, causing them to basically boil. When my brain started working, I pulled one out and tried to salvage both by continuing to fry one at a time, but it was too late. Taste was good, but should have been better. And it didn't help when it started drizzling on me. But got it all done and the food moved indoors. As I was carrying the hot pan, it started splattering a little as the rain drops started hitting the hot oil.

Overcooked by my liking, but the wife and daughter like their steak med, so it's fine for them. I like mine browned but still mooing.

Guess what I just remembered that I forgot? Chicken pot pie. I made a list, checked it twice, and found that I had been naughty and forgot to even put it on the list. Dang!

So, started a new list early and while that brain cell is still functioning, put it on now. I hope I don't forget the list...

That was my mom's favorite brand.

Personally, I like to make my own using readymade pie crust. I also cheat on the gravy; my wife makes that. I roast the whole chicken and open the bag of frozen mixed vegetables. I defiantly have a hand in making it.
