I'm still on the fence with this cooker.

I seasoned and bagged our nice 1 inch + Rib Eye,
I set the temp to 132° and the time to 1 1/2 hours.
I did this because our first attempt with the bone-in
Pork Chop gave us 3 degrees over our desired temp of 140°

Once the timer went off, I extricated the said Steak,
dried it well and and temp'd it.
129° :mad: far too rare for DH's liking.
So I grabbed a zip-top baggie and put it back in
at 135° for 30 minutes.

That's better.
I set my Cast Iron Skillet on the Gas Grill to heat for
15 minutes and then gave the Steak a good hard sear.

This is PERFECT for me, but DH was not sure about it.
He liked the taste when I just shoved a piece in his
mouth, so that he couldn't 'see' the red meat...
"EWWWW it's too red, if it doesn't look good I can't eat it!" :glare:

I thought that this was a fantastic meal,
and despite DH's objections he ate his entire plate! :LOL:
 
You can cook two pieces of steak to different temps. Set your SV to the higher temp for DH and cook the steak. Then cool down the bath to the right temp for your steak and cook that. The first steak will be fine sitting in the water. Then de-bag and sear as before.
 
I like my steaks rare or medium rare. DH likes his well done. Sometimes I slice his steak and give the slices a quick sear on the cut sides. How long to sear them depends on how thick you sliced the steak.

This is exactly what we do. My wife likes hers a little more cooked than I like mine. This we are both happy.
 
Yup, that's how I do it!

We compromise on steak as I like mine done more rare than she does, but not by much. She'll eat it how I like it and I will eat it how she likes it.
