Is the '137 Club' the Best Way to Cook Steak? I Tried the Viral Method to See for Myself

The article explores the "137 Club," a group of people who swear by the sous vide method for cooking steak. The author tried this technique to see if it lives up to the hype. The 137 Club refers to the practice of cooking steak at precisely 137°F (58.3°C) for an extended period, typically 1-4 hours, to achieve a perfectly cooked, tender, and juicy result. The author followed this method, seasoning the steak, sealing it in a plastic bag, and submerging it in a water bath set to the recommended temperature. After the cooking time, the author seared the steak to create a flavorful crust. The author found the end result to be incredibly tender and flavorful, with a consistent doneness throughout the meat. The article suggests that the 137 Club's claims about the effectiveness of this cooking method may be justified, making it a viable option for those seeking a foolproof way to prepare the perfect steak.
