Too the Anova and the Caliente out for a spin.

Had a nice, thick 2+ lb ribeye.  Seasoned, bagged and dropped it in for a leisurely 5 hour bath at 129 degrees.

Pulled it out then threw it onto one a  22 outfitted with the Caliente attachment.   Seared for a few minutes on each side, just inches away from the coals.  Phone was dead so I didn't get any pics of that part.

Was absolutely delicious.   

Am doing a "Demo hybrid" of Keto and zero carb, so no side items, just a nice, fatty ribeye.

It looks perfect. Edge to edge even. Very nice!

Here's something you might wish to try. Sous vide to 128, then put the steak directly on the coals, and brush with butter/crushed garlic. Use an herb brush (rosemary, thyme, sage) to apply the butter. One minute per side, repeat twice.

Let rest and then add the herbs and remaining butter over top of steak. To die for.
PS you can put a small hedge on the coals to keep the Ash off the steak. Idea is to eliminate any space between coals and meat to stop flare ups.

Might just have to give that a try as it sounds delicious.  Can you give more detail about keeping the ash off?

Definitely use Lump to keep the ash off

I simply use a small (12-15" grate) places directly on the coals. The  grate from a Smokey Joe works.

This keeps the space between the coals and meat to a minimum to maximize heat and minimize space for flare ups, and helps keep the coals/Ash sticking to the meat.

Most important: use lump or real wood not briquettes.

Righteous! I live the idea of the grate on the coals! I won't be Vide but I will try the caveman steak. I have been meaning too!
