Cook a Perfect Medium-Rare Steak

8 Feb

Getting that perfect tenderness and juiciness with a nice brown crust out of your steak like the pros is not as hard as it seems and you don’t have to break the bank to do it either. Sous-vide cooking that employs sealing your meat in a water-tight plastic bag and then cooking it in a water bath with very precise low temperature is a great way to get even cook on your meat. Professional sous-vide machines can cost thousands and even more consumer centric devices are still very pricy. The Food Lab’s J Kenji Lopez-Alt shows you how to sous-vide your meat in a beer cooler and then finish it on the stove. It’s simple and anyone can do it. Give it a try and report back.
