Serving suggestions

These go well with anything but as a nod the The Chinese New Year I'm serving these with special fried rice

Chef's notes

Obviously two steaks cannot easily be cooked to different levels of doneness as this is determined by the temperature of the sous vide bath, not by the cooking time, although I've found that an extended cooking time tenderises the meat more.

I've also found that a well done steak cooked sous vide has the same juiciness and mouth feel of a normally cooked rare steak. If you require rare and well done steaks, I would cook them both to medium [60°C for 2 hours]. You won't get any complaints!
