Ribeye Steak With Red Wine Reduction
YIELD: 4 servings // ACTIVE TIME: 30 minutes // TOTAL TIME: 1-4 hours

Steak
● 2 (1 1/2- to 2-inch thick) ribeye steaks
● Salt and freshly ground black pepper
● 4 sprigs thyme
● 2 garlic cloves
● 2 tablespoons olive oil
● 2 tablespoons butter

Red wine reduction
● 2 tbsp olive oil
● 4 large shallots, peeled and sliced
● 12 whole black peppercorns
● 1 bay leaf
● 1 thyme sprig
● Splash of red wine vinegar
● 1 bottle red wine
● 3 cups beef stock

Cook ribeye:
1. Preheat water bath to 134ºF (57ºC)
2. Season the steaks on all sides with salt and pepper.
3. Put the steaks in a vacuum seal or zip-top bag along with the herbs and seal.
4. Cook for 1-4 hours.

Meanwhile, prepare wine sauce:
1. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a saucepan and add shallots with the peppercorns, bay and thyme and continue to cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the shallots turn golden brown.
2. Add the vinegar and let simmer for a few minutes until almost dry. Add the wine and boil until almost completely reduced. Add the stock and bring to a boil again. Lower the heat and simmer gently for 1 hour, occasionally skimming the surface of the sauce. Strain the liquid through a fine sieve. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

1. Heat a stainless steel or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and add the remaining butter and pour the cooking liquid and herbs from the bag into the skillet. 
2. When the bubbling slows down add the steak to the skillet for 30 seconds on all sides.
3. Cut into thick slices, drizzle with wine sauce and serve.
Hanger Steak with Succotash
This recipe showcases how simple it is to cook a tender cut of steak with sous vide. I use hanger steak in this example, but it works equally well with other tender steaks such as filet, ribeye, or strip steak. 
In this recipe you can also use cuts of medium-toughness such as sirloin or flank steak, though because they are a little tougher, you can increase the time they cook for a more tender steak.

I pair it with a simple succotash, but you can use any sides you traditionally like to serve with sous vide steak.
For the Hanger Steak:
2 pounds hanger steak (900 grams)
Salt
1/4 teaspoon steak seasoning or chili powder
For the Succotash:
Olive oil
1 red onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 poblano pepper, diced
2 cups corn kernels
2 cups lima beans
2 tablespoons butter
1 lime
To Assemble:
1 lime
Basil, chopped
Salt

For the Hanger Steak:
Preheat a water bath to 131°F (55°C).

Lightly salt the hanger steak then sprinkle with the steak seasoning. Place the steak in a sous vide bag then seal the bag and cook for 2 to 4 hours.

For the Succotash:
Heat some olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Place the red onion in the pan and cook until it starts to soften. Add the garlic and poblano peppers and cook until the poblano pepper is tender. Add the corn and lima beans and cook until the lima beans are tender. Add butter and let it melt. Juice the lime into the pan and mix well to combine.

To Assemble:
Remove the cooked steak from the bag and dry the meat well. Quickly sear the steak then cut it into serving sections.

Place a few spoonfuls of succotash on a plate then top with the steak. Sprinkle with some fresh basil, then lightly salt.
