  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon honey

Instructions

Gochujang Butter

Preparing the Steak

  1. Set sous vide machine to 55C/131F.

  2. Salt and pepper the rib eye to taste. Put the steak in a freezer bag with crushed garlic, and remove the air through a vacuum sealer or the displacement method. Drop steak in the bath for 1 hour.

  4. Add lemon half to the hot pan, cut-side down. Cook until blackened, and remove from pan.
