I second this. Sous vide is the way.

Sous vide followed by a sear?

Yes. I do salt pepper garlic and a rosemary sprig in the bag. Sear in butter or tallow on cast iron just before serving. It doesn’t need to rest.

💥💥 Going to try that tomorrow

Enjoy!

yes sear after in a very hot cast iron to build a crust, but do not burn it.

110F on the sous vide or lower?

110 is ok, below 130f

Well I like medium rare so I do 129 for about an hour. I’ve done a Chuck steak for 24 hours and I’d put it up against a high quality rib eye any day.

Chuck is delicious when done right, I like to braise my chucks.. definitely not a lean cut though!

Yes. Make sure you pat the meat with some paper towels to dry it off a bit before the sear. I like to use my cast iron on the stove top when it's cold outside and I don't want to mess with the grill.

Yes great tip. It needs to be dry.
