Instructions

Generously season filet mignon steaks using Chicago steak seasoning or steak seasoning of choice. Pat the seasoning down.
Place filet in plastic zip-lock bag and press the air out. Seal tightly.
Clip the bag with the filet into the inside of a pot of water with the sous vide cooker attached.
Fully submerge the bag in the water and sous vide for 1:45 at 130°F.
Remove filet from the bag and place on a separate plate. In a skillet over medium heat, melt ½ stick butter and cook 1 Tbsp. minced garlic.
Sear filet on all sides until golden brown, just a couple of minutes per side. Slice against the grain, serve, and enjoy!

Notes

Make sure to squeeze all of the air out of the zip-lock bag after placing your steaks in the bag, and check for any holes where water might be able to get in.
Clip the bag to the side of the pot to keep it in place. This is super important. You can use any clip you have on hand, like a chip bag clip. This way, the bag will stay in place and keep your food perfectly submerged.
On that note, make sure your filet is fully submerged in the water so it cooks evenly. Use a pot that's large enough to hold enough water to fully submerge your steak.
