Sous Vide Strip Steak with Caramelized Onions & Mushrooms

If you’re ready to try cooking in a unique way, you’ll love this easy-to-make sous vide strip steak. Bursting with flavor and juicy tenderness, we’ve prepared this recipe with caramelized onions and mushrooms.

What is Sous Vide Cooking?

If you’re not quite familiar with what sous vide cooking is, let me explain as best I can.

Sous vide cooking is basically placing your food in a vacuum-sealed bag and cooking it in regulated bath water. No, not the bathtub. More on that in a bit.

While this sounds like an awful lot of work, I imagine you’re wondering why on earth you go through all that trouble to cook meat when you can just toss it on the BBQ or broil it in the oven.

Well, you can do that, too, if you wish, but sous vide just takes cooking meat to a whole other level. And trust me when I say that once you’ve tried it, you’ll have a hard time going back to cooking meat the normal way.

But don’t take my word for it. You’ll have to test it yourself.

What You Need to Make Sous Vide Strip Steak

Here is a list of ingredients needed to make this sous vide strip steak recipe.

• 4 New York Strip Steaks approximately 1½ – 2” thick
• Sea salt and black pepper to taste
• 3-4 cloves fresh garlic peeled and crushed
• 4 sprigs fresh rosemary plus additional for garnish
• 3 T. extra virgin olive oil divided
• 10 oz. white mushrooms sliced

Besides the ingredients, you’ll also need this equipment

• Plastic bag
• Sous Vide Circulator
• Large pot (for water)

How to Make Sous Vide Strip Steak

1. Fill a large container or pot with water and attach the sous vide circulator to the side. Set the temperature to 131°F and the cooking time to 2 hours.
2. While the water bath heats, season the steaks with salt and black pepper to taste. Place the steaks in an airtight plastic bag, along with the crushed garlic and rosemary sprigs. Remove as much air as possible from the bag before sealing.
3. Once the water bath reaches the set temperature, add the sealed bag. (If enough air has been removed, the bag should sink.) If necessary, adjust the sous vide timer back to two hours.
4. Approximately one hour before the steak is done, prepare the caramelized onions if using. Set aside.
5. When the cooking time is complete, remove the steaks from the water bath and discard the rosemary, garlic, and any liquid in the plastic bag. Transfer the steaks to a plate and pat dry with a paper towel. Set aside.
6. Heat two tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and add the sliced mushrooms. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are golden brown and start to release their juices, approximately 5-6 minutes.
7. Remove the mushrooms from the skillet and add the remaining olive oil. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the steaks. Sear the steaks on each side until they develop a nice color, approximately 2-3 minutes per side.
8. Remove from heat and rest for 5 minutes before serving with the caramelized onions and mushrooms. Enjoy!
