Instructions

1. Pat the steaks dry with a paper towel and allow them to reach room temperature.
2. Fill a large stock pot with water, ensuring it reaches the water line on the sous vide device. Attach the sous vide cooker to the pot’s rim and set it to 130°F for medium-rare doneness.
3. Generously season the steaks with salt and pepper. Place each steak into a food saver bag along with 2 sprigs of rosemary and 2 sprigs of thyme. Use a vacuum sealer to remove air from the bag.
4. Submerge the sealed bags into the water bath, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cook the steaks for 2 hours.
5. After cooking, remove the bags from the water bath. Take the steaks out of the bags and place them on a cutting board or sheet pan. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
6. Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the avocado oil. Once the skillet is very hot, place the steaks in the pan and sear each side for 1 minute to develop a charred exterior.
7. Transfer the seared steaks to a plate or cutting board. Top each steak with 1 tablespoon of butter and a sprinkle of minced garlic.
