The best way to cook this?

I love a good steak!
I generously season a thicc prime grade KC strip with Himalayan pink salt and let it dry brine in the fridge overnight. I finish seasoning it with cracked rainbow peppercorn blend and either minced garlic or black garlic powder. I vacuum seal it and sous vide it at 135 °F for about 2 hours. Once it's done in the bath, I get it out of the vacuum bag, blot dry with a paper towel, dust it with ancho chili spice if I'm feeling frisky, and sear it with a searzall blowtorch or butter baste in a pan on the stove. Slice into quarter inch thick slices and finish with a sprinkle of oak-smoked flaky salt, sometimes a bleu cheese crumble. Delicious!

According to all of the self proclaimed grill masters I know, you’re supposed to sear it on one side for about a minute or two, flip it, and then proceed to cook the ever-living fuck out of it because you’ve developed some kind of superstition about opening the grill again before the steak has cooked to perfection, and you were distracted while it was in this Goldilocks zone of medium rarity. Blame the well-done-ness on whoever the fuck you talked to last and act pissy about it all night long because it’s their god damned fault

Do the cheap sous vide machines work? Like target brand? Or do I need to spend some money for it to be worth it?

Garlic and Rosemary

Boiled

Use as fertilizer to grow grass for cattle. Raise own steaks

Have a more expensive one, so not sure. There is a guy on YouTube who started out as Sous Vide Everything, then became Gouda Food. He once Sous Vided a steak in a washing machine. Said it was much better than he expected.

Definitely.

Smoker pellet grill(I prefer pitboss). Season to preferred taste. Let it smoke on low heat for about 25 minutes. Grill one minute each side. Usually medium rare.

Go clean the toilet Charlie.
