SET UP YOUR SANSAIRE

 (see page 3)

Pick a container that will be large enough to fit your food, with extra room 
left over for water to circulate.  A large soup pot is a great choice. 

HOW DO YOU LIKE YOUR STEAK?

Take your time… this could be the most important decision you’ll make today.

SEAL & COOK FOR 1 HOUR

  (see page 4)

Your steak will be ready for the next step in an hour. If that 
hour turns into three or four hours, no worries. Your steak 
will still be just as perfectly cooked when you return to it. 
Pro Tip: Try our Steak Aging Sauce to give your steak the 
complex flavor of dry aging. Visit 

sansaire.com

 for more info.

REMOVE & SEAR

  (see page 14)

Using tongs, remove your bags of steak from the bath, remove the steaks 
from their bags, and pat them dry – we’re about to sear them, and wet 
things don’t like to brown. Our favorite way to sear is with the roaring flame 
of the Sansaire Searing Kit. It creates a golden crust without jeopardizing the 
perfect doneness of sous vide cooking. Alternatively, you can use a hot, cast 
iron skillet. See page 14 for more details.

SEASON & SERVE

Season your steaks however you prefer – we like to add flaky salt and freshly 
cracked black pepper. Take a moment to admire the perfectly cooked cut of 
meat you just dished up.

How to cook steak sous vide

This is going to be a little different than the way you’ve cooked steaks in the  
past, but you’re going to love the results. Achieving the right doneness (rare, 
medium-rare, medium, and so on) doesn’t require expert timing or x-ray vision.  
All you have to do is choose the temperature you prefer.
