Sous Vide NY Strip with Mushroom Pan Sauce
  1. 1

    Fill a large Dutch oven about two-thirds full with water. Warm the water over medium heat to 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). Clip a candy or oil thermometer to the side of the Dutch oven to monitor and keep the temperature steady.

  2. 2

    Season the steaks generously with salt and pepper. Heat 1 teaspoon vegetable oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the steaks and sear until just browned, about 1 minute per side. Move the steaks to a resealable plastic bag, press out all the air, and seal.

  3. 3

    Set the sealed plastic bag in the Dutch oven, adjusting the heat as needed to keep the water at 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). Cook for 2 1/2 hours, occasionally shifting the bag and maintaining the temperature.

  4. 4

    While the steaks cook, melt 1 tablespoon butter in the same skillet over medium-low heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring now and then, until soft, about 5 minutes. Transfer them to a plate and set aside.

  5. 5

    Remove the steaks from the plastic bag (saving any juices) and pat them dry. Season generously again with salt and pepper. Heat the remaining 1 teaspoon vegetable oil in the skillet over high heat. Put the steaks in the skillet and sear to form a crust, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the steaks to a plate.

  6. 6

    Stir the garlic and mushrooms into the skillet, lower the heat to medium, and cook until the mushrooms are warmed through, about 2 minutes. Stir in the reserved steak juices, 2 tablespoons water, and the balsamic vinegar. Take the skillet off the heat.

  7. 7

    Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon butter until fully melted and blended. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Spoon the sauce over the steaks and serve.
