The local Vons had the deal of the century on the last 2 packs of NY Strips from the weekend. I wanted to get redemption at the failed Steak-chicken-pork so here's the ole college try. First the deal:
Almost a lb of NY strip for less than $4!
I wasn't going to finish this monster in one sitting so I cut it in half. Here's how the second one came out this morning. Still a little weak on the sear. I think the steak was a little too wet and a little greyband there but after being a mostly med-well steak eater I think I've converted with the assistance of this thread into the territory where steak is supposed to be eaten.
foatie - The cooking procedure probably was fine, but the steak doesn't look appetizing in the pics. Flash and pic quality might be a factor. I wonder if the fact that the steak wasn't fresh played a part in the abnormal texture and color. I also wouldn't be surprised if it tasted very good.

It tasted great, but it seems like it may have been frozen at some point due to the inconsistent coloring. For 3.75 i was willing to take the gamble.
Just a sign at my Costco above the cooler. Was tempted to buy another one today but held off and grabbed some prime ribeye cap steaks instead.
Sous vide for 1 hour at 126.5 then seared in cast iron with grapeseed oil and butter for ~1 min per side. Sorry for the crappy lighting in the pic with the lobster tails.
