Add Water to The Sous Vide Container
Once you have attached the Instant Pot Accu Slim Sous Vide cooker to a sous vide container, pour water into the container to create a sous vide water bath.
But your immersion circulator has a low water level mark and high water level mark on the sleeve.
Make sure the water bath level is between these marks. Always keep the water bath level above the low water bath level mark but below the high water bath level mark for efficient performance.
A transparent sous vide cooker will allow you to monitor the water level with unblocked vision. As such, consider using a transparent sous vide container.

First, you will use the temperature control button to bring the water bath to the correct sous vide temperature.
Of course, the best sous vide temperature depends on the meal you want to prepare. As such, be sure to check through the sous vide recipes to know the correct sous vide temperature for your meal.
If you’re looking to cook a medium-rare steak, set the sous vide temperature to 133°F and set the cooking time to 2 hours. Let the sous vide machine raise the water bath temperature precisely to the set level.
Season Your Steak with Ingredients
The sous vide cooker will take some time to raise the water bath temperature to your set level.
While the machine is working to achieve this set temperature, you can season your thick steak cut with all the ingredients that bring out the flavors that thrill you the most.
You can season your steak cut with salt, garlic, and pepper before placing the steak in a sous vide-quality plastic bag. You will then use a vacuum sealer to get rid of the air surrounding the sous vide steak.
Only after sealing the plastic bag with the steak inside can you place the steak into the water bath. But this will be after the sous vide machine has achieved the target water bath temperature.
Add The Steak to The Sous Vide Water Bath
After the water bath temperature has risen to your chosen level, be sure to add the vacuum sealed plastic bag with the ingredients to the water bath.
Close the lid and let the immersion circulator cook the steak until the timer goes off.
Sear The Steak Cut in A Cast Iron Skillet
You can finish your steak cut by searing it in a cast iron skillet. This will brown the crust and make it crispy for a steak cooked to your preferred doneness level.
Browning the steak only takes a few minutes, and you will treat your guests to a tasteful steak for dinner!
