Preparing Entrecôte or Ribeye Roast Low and Slow (searing & slow roasting)

Plan ahead: Thaw the meat a few days in advance (or a few hours in cold water) and remove it from the refrigerator 5 hours before cooking to bring it to room temperature.
Preheat the oven to 120°C for even cooking and heat the pan or grill to maximum temperature.
Sear the meat on all sides in a large pan with butter or on the grill until thoroughly browned and the fat cap becomes nice and crunchy.
Transfer the meat to the preheated oven, place the seared roast in an oven dish, and add the cooking juices.
Time: Use the schedule below for planning; the times are indicative.
Check: Always measure the internal temperature of these cuts. Use the temperatures in the chart.
Rest: Let the meat rest for 10 minutes before slicing or serving.
Season: Add salt and pepper or your choice of rub after searing or before serving.

Preparing Entrecôte or Ribeye Roast Sous Vide

Plan ahead: Thaw the meat a few days in advance (or a few hours in cold water) and remove it from the refrigerator 5 hours before cooking to bring it to room temperature.
Preheat the water bath to ensure the correct cooking times. Use a sealed vacuum bag (you can pre-season the steak and reseal it, but the original packaging is usually fine for sous vide cooking).
Time: Set the sous vide stick according to the schedule below. If the meat is frozen, add 1 hour to the cooking time.
Sear: Sear the steak in a pan or on the BBQ until golden brown. You can also use a torch. The temperature will not increase further during this step.
Rest: Let the steak rest for 10 minutes before slicing or serving.
Season: Add salt and pepper or your choice of rub halfway through or after cooking.
