So my Joule came in and I had to break it in immediately. I had a coulette steak available so in it went. I decided to go with the Joule's setting which were 129.2 for 1.5hrs based on an estimated 1.5 inch thickness and medium rare. I used a gallon ziplock bag as I didn't feel like getting out the vacuum sealer. Seared it on flat side of grillgrates to try and get nice even browness. Was pretty happy with results. Might bump up the temp a few degrees as it was more rare than I expected, but the tenderness and juiciness was spot on. Definitely happy. I also which I had spend more time patting it dry before trying to sears. So much juices made the sear not as strong. Live and learn I guess.

That is a beautiful piece of meat! Nice job. I usually go a little longer (2-3 hours)in the hot tub and around 135*
Maybe Potkettleblack will chime in. He has studied the Sous Vide pretty good and might add to you knowledge.

Looks good.
Shocking would improve sear without over cooking.
Joule recipes don’t include shocking. So they cook at a lower temp than usual. If not shocking, if thin, not an issue. Their doneness guides are good.
Your steak looks thicker than inch and half. Might be a factor.

I usually pat dry and add a coat of avocado oil to our sous-vide steaks, chops and roasts before searing at 700° or so on the Grill Grates Griddle on my gasser. I spritz the Griddle with avocado oil as the meat sears to keep it sizzling nicely. Works for me.
Good call on the Ziploc bag, btw. I seldom vacuum seal unless it's a long cook.

I usually find i prefer to go 135 on sous vide steak. Kinda weird because its higher than i would shoot for on a reverse sear but i personally find thats the sweet spot on sous vide.
That is a fine looking cook though

133-135 is my jam for nearly all beef products. 135 is the pork chop temp.

I think i'll try 132-133 for my next beef cook. I think part of it is just not being used to the accuracy and perfect even cooking you get with SV. I always reverse seared in the past, but with something this thick you still get some variation from top to bottom. This doesn't. Perfectly medium rare even in the thinner parts. I like it, but is going to require a bit of learning.
