Cooking NY Strip steaks sous-vide style is the ONLY way I cook them these days. That’s because cooking NY strip steaks sous-vide style makes it easy to cook incredible steak perfectly every time. It’s really convenient to make them for dinner since they can be prepped in the morning with seasonings or a marinade. They can chill in the fridge all day, absorbing the flavors and herbs inside a vacuum sealed bag.
How to cook NY Strip steaks sous-vide style
To cook NY Strip steaks sous-vide style, there are two main steps. First, season and vacuum seal the steaks with a pat of butter or drizzle of olive oil. Next, submerge the steaks in temperature-controlled water for a specific amount of time.
Trying a new vacuum sealer
I was sent a genius new sous-vide product to review as part of this sponsored post, the FoodSaver® V4440 2-in-1 Automatic Vacuum Sealing System. It is a major upgrade to my sous-vide process because it takes the hassle out of vacuum sealing. The FoodSaver® 3PK 11″ Vacuum Seal Rolls make it easy to pre-package sous vide ingredients so they’re ready to take out of the fridge and cook when it’s time to make dinner.

For best results, heat a cast iron skillet on medium-high. Once hot, add 2 tbsp butter to the pan. Once the butter completely melts, sear the steaks for ~30-60 seconds on each side, until a crust forms on each side of the steak. While the steak cooks, spoon butter from pan on top of steak for increased flavor.

Transfer steak to a cutting board to let the juices set for a few minutes. Slice against the grain and serve.
