• Place the bag into the water bath in the sous vide container. Make sure it is fully submerged. (If your meat is floating, you can use heavy kitchen items such as metal kitchen tongs to weigh it down.)

• Season with more salt and pepper if necessary.
• Place the cast-iron skillet on medium-high heat. Add the remaining olive oil. Once very hot, add the steak and sear about 1 minute per side until nicely browned.
