Sous Vide Ribeye Steak

Anova Culinary

I have always been a fan of steak but, hated overcooking an expensive cut when using the grill alone. Often I just timed my cook, felt the firmness or just plain guessed.  More often than not, the result was less than perfection.  With the Anova Sous Vide Precision Cooker I never worry about overcooking an expensive cut. The meat is always juicy, tender, and perfectly cooked to the temperature I enjoy the most.
