This is the foolproof method for a perfect steak every single time. Grab any steak, I have a nice côte de boeuf here, give it a bath, then a hard sear. Please never mess up your steak again.

Ingredients

  • 1 steak (any cut, I used a côte de boeuf)
  • a few sprigs fresh herbs
  • a knob butter, for basting
  • to season salt and pepper, generously

Method

  1. 1

    Pat the steak dry and season it generously with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Add the steak and some herbs to a vacuum-sealed bag, or use a Ziploc bag and press out the air by submerging it in water.

  3. 3

    Heat your water bath to 54°C (130°F) and bathe the steak for 2 hours for juicy medium rare. Want medium? Do 60°C (140°F).

  4. 4

    Cool it in the fridge for another hour, or until you're ready to eat.

  5. 5

    Take it out of the fridge 30 minutes before searing.

  6. 6

    Get a cast-iron pan ripping hot and sear the steak 30 seconds on each side.

  7. 7

    Baste it with some lovely butter. Perfectly done steak.
