2 (6- to 8-ounce) rib-eye steaks
2 zip-top freezer bags or vacuum seal bags
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Fill skillet with 4 quarts water. Set heat control to desired temperature (see time/temperature table on page 9). Heat water until control
signals that desired temperature has been reached.
Mix coffee, brown sugar, garlic, pepper, and salt in a small bowl. Pour mixture onto a plate. Rub steaks evenly on both sides with
coffee mixture.
Seal each steak in plastic bag, following step 3, page 8. Add sealed bags to skillet. Place cooking rack over bags to submerge. Cover
skillet and cook for desired time based on preferred doneness (see time/temperature table on page 9).
Remove cover when done cooking, and carefully remove rack and bags with tongs. Turn off skillet and unplug. Carefully empty water
from skillet and wipe dry.
Plug skillet back in, and preheat to 400°. Remove steaks from bags and pat dry with paper towel, if necessary. Add oil and sear steaks
approximately 1 minute on each side.
