Sous Vide Time & Temperature Calculator

Set your sous vide to 131°F (55°C) for a perfect medium rare steak. The steak should cook for at least 1 hour for a 1-inch thick cut, longer for thicker cuts.

While not strictly required, searing is highly recommended. A quick 1-2 minute sear per side in a very hot pan creates a flavorful crust without overcooking the interior.

While sous vide prevents overcooking in the traditional sense (the food cannot exceed the water temperature), leaving food in too long (over 4+ hours for tender cuts) can make the texture mushy.
