One of the keys to cooking the perfect steak is using the sous vide method. By cooking your steak in a water bath at a precise temperature, you can achieve the perfect level of doneness every time. But how long should you cook your steak for? Here is a handy sous vide steak time chart to guide you.
For a rare steak, cook your steak at 129°F (54°C) for 1 to 2 hours. This will result in a steak that is red in the center and has a cool temperature. Season your steak with salt and pepper before placing it in the sous vide water bath.
Medium-Rare Steak
If you prefer a medium-rare steak, cook your steak at 135°F (57°C) for 1 to 2 hours. This will result in a steak that is pink in the center with a warm temperature. Add some garlic and herbs to the bag with your steak for extra flavor.
Medium Steak
For a medium steak, cook your steak at 145°F (63°C) for 1 to 2 hours. This will result in a steak that is pink throughout with a hot temperature. Try adding some butter and rosemary to the bag with your steak for a rich and savory flavor.
