Basic Steak

Instructions

• 1We suggest you weigh or measure all ingredients at the start of the cooking process. Chefs call this mise en place, and it’s the best way to stay organized.
  Tip: test
• 2Add garlic, fresh thyme and bay leaf, pepper and salt, and olive oil.
• 3Remember, the water in your pot will get hot enough to cook your food—treat your work surface accordingly! Place a trivet beneath the pot to help protect your countertop, or use whatever precautions you normally would when exposing your counter to a dish, pot, or pan you just removed from the oven or stove.
• 4Put your Joule in the water and, when it is at the right temperature, lower the bag slowly into the saucepan. If you can, clip it to the side and make sure that the food is completely under water. Tip: If your bag floats to the top, add a spoon inside it to weigh it down.
• 5For a crispy-crusted, super-savory steak, sear in a very hot pan for 1 min on each side.
