I'm cooking some wagyu strips tomorrow.

Im cooking a few wagyu strips tomorrow for my parents and I need advice on the best way to cook them.

I'm a rare steak guy, so I have a pretty good idea how to make a great steak for my taste, but they're medium rare people.

I usually reverse sear my steaks then finish by basting with some truffle butter, but I've never been able to get a perfect medium rare.

The steaks in question are about 1 1/2” thick, what's the best way to cook them to get a good medium rare with a solid crust?

Sous vide if you have one. Once it's cooked pop it onto a high heat skillet or grill for just a minute.

I've looked into it, but I don't have the necessary machinery.

How long does sous vide take? If I picked a machine up tomorrow morning could I cook a steak before dinner?

You should be able to, though I'd suggest practicing first. I'd probably do a reverse sear if you want a steak tomorrow.

No prob. People rag on Kenji, but he still has the best articles for cooking meat with all the in-depth info they contain.

Sous Vide will take you like 1.5 hrs while you sit around and not worry about it over cooking
