Instructions
Set the sous vide machine to 54°C / 130°F to preheat the water.
Season and bag the ribeye generously with salt, pepper, garlic and rosemary and thyme sprigs.
Seal the bag and cook in the sous vide container for 2 hours.
When the ribeye is ready, take it out of the vacuum sealed bag. Pat dry the ribeye.
Put a pan on high heat and sear the ribeye on all sides with ghee, 1 to 2 minutes per side including edges (5-8 minutes total). Alternatively, sear the steak with olive oil over a grill.
When ready to eat, finish with salt and be sure to slice the steak against the grain. Enjoy your perfectly cooked ribeye immediately!
Notes
You can of course cook more than one ribeye at a time. Just make sure the ribeyes do not overlap (e.g. stack) in the sous vide bag.
