THE PERFECT FINISH
Cooking the perfect protein often involves getting
a beautiful golden char from searing. For the best
sear, we recommend removing your protein from
the sous vide bath and sealed bag and allowing
it to rest for a few minutes. Remove all surface
moisture by dabbing with a paper towel.
You can sear with a barbecue grill, propane torch,
or our favorite – a simple cast iron pan.
Make sure your cast iron pan is arriving at very
high heat over a cooktop or flame, with a drizzle
of oil with a high smoke point, such as avocado
or virgin olive oil. Sear each side of the protein for
30 seconds. For even more savory flavor, you can
baste the protein by spooning melted butter and
herbs over the protein during the sear.
