How to cook the perfect sous-vide fillet steak (or tenderloin)
Season your steak carefully with salt and pepper
Put the fillet steak in a sous-vide bag along with the herbs. If you are using a zip lock bag remove the air using water displacement. If not, use your vacuum sealer to close the bag

If you are cooking more than one steak, put each one in a separate bag.
Preheat the sous-vide to the temperature of your choice (53C in my case)
Immerse your steak and cook for a minimum of 45 minutes
Heat oil and butter in a heavy pan till sizzling nicely
Remove the steak from the sous-vide and carefully open the bag, reserving any juices and the herbs

Sear the steak on each side for 30 seconds to one minute
Put to one side to rest
Add the red wine to the pan and deglaze quickly. Add in the juices and herbs
Reduce down a little
Serve the jus with the steak
