Can anyone confirm if the Superstore at 401 & Weston still has this deal today? Didn't get a chance to head out there this past weekend

For the sous-vide cooks out there, how are you guys getting the best sear?
I do 129F for 1hr, pat them dry and throw em on my Lodge Cast Iron with a bit of oil and waiting for the oil/pan to be searing hot. I've done 1min on each side and find I don't get enough sear.
I've tried 3 mins each side where I like the amount of sear, but the inside cooks too much from the 129F internal temp. I tried 2 mins each side which was decent, but still cooks the inside a bit more than I'd like.
What point do you guys season the steaks? While vaccuum sealing and storing into freezer initially, after the thaw and prepping them for the bath, or after taking them out of the bath before searing?

what oil are you using, and how long are you waiting for your cast iron to heat up? a high smoke point oil like avocado oil or ev olive oil are great for searing, and cast irons take a decent amount of time to get to a very high heat.

i personally season during bagging / before freeze, at minimum with salt.

I trim off the excessive fat from the piece and make tallow.

What I found was I had to sous vide my steaks at 125F (Medium Rare) as when I sous vided mine at 130F it was cooked more than I liked. Pat the steak lightly to remove excess moisture after sous-viding. As for how long to sear it on your cast ironed, its hard to give you an approximate time for this. You just want it long enough to give you a nice crust on the surface. I use olive oil and wait till the pan is smoking just slightly before I throw the steaks on. Make sure your stove is on the highest setting and do not cook more than 1 steak on a pan. Do not touch the steak after it's on. When you go to flip the steak, make sure you flip it onto another area of the pan where the steak wasn't on. I also use garlic, thyme and butter to baste it to help also give that crust as well. and I add this after I flipped it.

I season my steaks with just kosher salt and pepper before I vaccuum seal it.

I'm using Mazola Canola oil. Never timed how long I waited to heat up but I would guess 3 minutes? I have a gas stove and the setting is on max.

ideally its as hot as you can get it. For sure when your oil starts smoking. You can't really time it because my stove might be 4000BTU and yours might be 10,000BTU. It all depends. Unfortunately, it creates a massive mess in a kitchen when you do that. You'll get splattering oil everywhere and fumes too.
Its best to do this dirty stuff on the outdoor BBQ.

Loblaws did not have the prime rib sale in my area. Closest Super store is 1 hour 45 minutes away so forced to go to Walmart . Got 4 large roasts. They had a choice of small or large roasts.
Sale ends Wednesday.

Stocked up the freezer.
Bought 9 roasts = $301
Earned 20% back in points = $60.20
Received ($24.95) bag of shrimp free
** Plus, because I had the cashier ring through (and credit) the free shrimp at the till, I earned another 5000 PC points having it added on the bill (as I had a seafood offer) Face With Tears Of Joy
All butchered, vacuum sealed, and in the freezer. Thumbs Up Sign

The one in the bottom left corner has way to much fat towards the eye, marbling is fine but that piece is beyond marbling.

It is a good deal in the West too because RCSS is price matching Walmart ($5.97/lb rib roast).

I bought:
2 tenderloins for $120
4 rib roasts for $230
Total $350

Points:
$30 for tenderloins
$74 for 20% off beef personal offer
Total $104

Plus the free bag of shrimp.

RCSS is stingy, they were only putting out 1 roast at a time. Otherwise I would've bought another $150 to get a second free bag of shrimp.

I cut the tenderloins and half of the rib roasts into steaks. Hopefully this will last until the next beef sale (thanksgiving?)!

I'd go longer than an hour in the water unless it's a really thin steak. At least 90 mins, preferably more. I usually use 131 as well, but 129 should be fine. Once you remove it from the vacuum sealed bag, scrape off whatever seasonings you put on it. I use salt/pepper/garlic powder, and it creates kind of a paste on the surface. Most of the flavour is out of it at this point so it's just wet fibre, and you want to remove it before searing otherwise heating up that watery paste will steam the meat. After the paste is removed, pat the steaks dry with paper towel. Then at that point you can put it in the freezer for 15 mins if you want, in order to get the outside very cold. That allows you to sear longer on the cast iron without overcooking it. I usually don't do that since I use very thick steaks, but it helps if you have thin steaks that can't take much time on the sear. Instead of putting oil on the pan while it's heating, heat the pan with nothing in it, and put oil on the steak itself. When searing, flip the meat often, like every 10 seconds at most. Halfway through, toss a couple tablespoons of butter in the pan and swirl the steak around the pan in a circle in the butter, then flip, and swirl the other side in the butter. Repeat the flipping and swirling until you have a nice crust. Shouldn't take very long once the butter is added. Throw that sucker on a plate, add some more kosher salt (smoked Maldon sea salt flakes are awesome), and if your arteries are up to the task, add a bit of fresh butter on top of the meat, and enjoy immediately.
