平時煮牛扒鍾意就咁落鑊煎，但牛扒越厚就越難掌握煎既時間，所以今次買左塊厚切既牛扒，我地就鍾意用慢煮既方法整，容易控制之餘又做到外面香脆裏面多汁既效果，最能夠保證唔會煮壞左依塊貴價食材。今次就同大家share下做法！

Normally we cook a steak by simply pan frying it. Yet the thicker the steak, the harder it is to make the cooking time precise. So for the thick cut sirloin steak we bought this time, we would like to cook it by sous vide. Not only is it easier to control the timing, the steak will also be crispy on the outside and juicy inside. We can make sure we don’t ruin the pricey steak. Let’s see how to do this!

慢煮厚切西冷牛扒 Sous Vide Sirloin Steak

用慢煮棒處理牛扒既好處係成塊牛係慢煮既過程已經均勻咁去到半熟狀態，慢煮完用pan煎封返外層令佢香脆就得，唔洗擔心受熱唔均勻令到外層熟晒但裏面生勾勾既情況，好易掌握。

依個方法尤其適用於厚切既牛扒，所以今次買既依塊厚切西冷就岩晒。

Using sous vide to process the steak can evenly make it half cooked. After that we simply apply high heat to sear the steak and make the exterior crispy. We don’t need to worry about the interior is unevenly cooked and is still very raw. This is a very easy method to adopt.

Sous vide is especially suitable for thick cut steak so the only we bought this time was ideal for using the method.

切開入面仲係pinku pinku而又唔會血淋淋咁，嫩滑可口
It’s medium rare so the inside was still pink and juicy

冰箱拎左塊扒出黎可以用慢煮棒解凍，set返25度由佢浸。

解凍後，用黑椒同粗鹽醃扒
When defrosting is done, marinate the steam with black pepper and crude salt

加埋少少百里香，成塊扒放入保鮮袋，用水壓擠出入面空氣，封袋，就可以開始慢煮喇
Together with some thyme, put the steak into a ziplock bag. Use water pressure to squeeze the air out and zip the bag. We may start to sous vide now!

set返51度慢煮1個鐘
依個溫度煮出黎會係rare，如果想煮到medium rare就可以set 54度
Set the slow cooker at 51 degree celsius for 1 hour.
This temperature will give you a rare steak. If you want it better done, set it at 54 degree celsius

慢煮後牛扒會變成咁既色
（真係好厚切）
After sous vide it becomes like this

煮牛扒既另一個樂趣就係伴碟可以有好多種配搭，今次我地就揀左煎蘆荀

然後就煎牛扒喇，煎牛扒 pan就係依個 LCskillet，可以參考之前既文章。不過由於塊牛扒已經煮到半熟，時間上可以唔洗煎咁耐，個skillet夠熱既話，煎30秒就可以轉90度，再煎30秒就可以反過第二面煎

So it’s turn to sear the steak. For details of using the skillet you may refer to our previous article. Yet, as the steak is now half cooked, the time to sear the steak needs to be adjusted. When the skillet is nicely pre-heated, we can sear one side for 30 secs and then rotate it 90 degree. Sear for 30 secs more and then we can flip it around
