Even though sous vide steak recipes are very prevalent it's hard not to write about them in summer because I spend so much time outside grilling. I also love the convenience of sous vide steak. I can toss a pouch into the water bath and whenever we're ready to eat later in the day I can pull it out and quickly sear it on the grill.

It's great for lunches as well since it reduces the time I'm cooking. I can now have good meals during the day without being in the kitchen for too long.

Here I decided to go for a rib steak since I had several in the freezer. One was already seasoned with garlic and onion powder, as well as a little paprika for a slight smokey flavor. I took it out of the freezer and put it directly into the water bath at 131°F / 55°C. Since it's frozen it takes about an extra hour but rib steaks have such a large time range (2 to 8 hours) and I wasn't planning on eating right away so it didn't really make a difference with the timing.

I had some oyster mushrooms around so I sauteed them with garlic and butter. I also put together some guacamole to serve with the steak since I love the flavor of avocado with beef. To finish it off I grilled some squash from the garden while the steaks were being seared.
