Glad it worked out for you, Laura. What kind of steak did you use?

I don't think this method was meant for a well done steak. I never have understood why people prefer their steaks well done. We used to eat over at a neighbor's house when they were here on weekends. He would go to the butcher and have a dozen or so rib eyes cut...good beef. The first time we ate over there, I couldn't figure out what was taking so long cooking the steaks. Then I went out by the grill where the guys were and found out. He had them cut thin and cooked them in a foil pan in a marinade until they were well done. Blew me away!

Buzz, I am a bit confused on this. I thought you put the steak on an aluminum lined pan. What is the point of the cooling rack?

That's terrible! I guess that's why you 'used' to eat at the neighbors.

Theresa, the cooling rack info on the bottom of my original post was a cut and paste from a chef on a knife site I haunt. The way I cooked the meal was as posted. The aluminum foil was nothing more than an aid to cleaning up. Sorry for the confusion.

YUP! Well, that and the fact that there's usually them and all their kids and grandkids...about 15 in all. I can't reciprocate that! (Although, at least two of the SILs would pay me to feed them all over here, just to have a real steak...LOL!)

An anon was looking at this. I loved this cooking method. If anyone has not tried it, you should. We have done this several times.

I wonder whatever happened to Buzzard...

I tried this cooking method last night, the steak turned out PERFECT! It was a 48oz, 2 inch thick Tomahawk Rib-eye, I pulled it out of the oven at 120 degrees, then seared it on my grill. So tender and juicy.

I might try that one of these days.  We are so in love with steaks cooked sous vide and then given a hard sear, it almost sounds like a similar theory.
