if you are tired of messing up expensive steaks try one of these! ReNae Mitchell picked up a crock pot with the sous vide capability I have used this other style (ANOVA)for years it attaches to the side of a big pot. Works great with Belschners vac pouches as long as the seal is still good and tight so no water gets in, it guarantees the center is at least rare and then just flash them on a hot grill for some char, depending on the heat sometimes just a couple minutes per side.

Not a chef or a grill Master by any means so don't bog me down with questions about it just hit up some YouTube videos and you'll probably learn a bunch more than I could ever explain about grilling steaks. I will say once you try it it's hard to go back for home grilling especially you are a gas or charcoal griller, pellet guys most likely already have a process that works for them, but I'm not that patient. Once I have a bunch sous vide I can store them in the fridge until I am ready for more steak!

I'll probably revisit this around Christmas as I know we sell a lot of $200 prime rib roast that end up gray and dry on the ends and raw in the middle, Sous vide (sue-vee) can help with that.

hope this helps protect someones investment in beef or gives you an idea to expand on!

Big shout out to Scott Gillespie for his 57 years at Belschner Custom Meats. He said he wanted to work till he was 75...and that day was yesterday. Scott started working for my grandfather alongside his dad Bud Gillespie back in 1969. Scott also worked for a short time with his son Cody Gillespie who he taught the trade along with dozens of other young guys over the years including me!. Scott's work ethic and toughness set the pace around here for a lot of years. It's hard to quantify how his contributions benefited my family the community and as a whole with his hundreds of thousands of pounds of steaks and roast he has skillfully cut. I said the same thing about his high school buddy and slaughter partner Steve Harmoney ( Jenell Harmoney ) who he worked the kill floor with since they graduated college together up until 5 years ago when Steve retired and Scott stuck to the cutting room.
Scott that's pretty cool you could call the shots like that on such a physical job and decide when you're done not many of us get to do that. I hope it works that way when you decide to tag your last calf or roll out your last round bale on the feed yard. My guess is you'll still be calling the shots on the ranch for years to come.

So if you see him tell him happy birthday even though it is a day late.
Thanks Scott it has truly ben a pleasure!
