Anybody do sous vide cooking? You basically seal food in a bag and cook it in water to the desired internal temp.
I've been doing steaks this way - basically it's a reverse sear method where you get the steak close to the internal temp you are seeking (say 130) then finish it on a hot grill with a minute or two per side.
It's a great way to get a steak that is consistently medium rare from edge to edge along with a great sear.
The other nice thing is you can't overcook stuff so you can put a steak in the tank and leave it for hours until you are ready to finish it on the grill.
I have a redneck sous vide machine. Basically it's a thermostat/temp controller that you plug a crock pot into. Cost me under a 100 bucks while sous vide machines can cost thousands.
