Hey there,&nbsp;

  

Loving my Anova, it’s been an amazing tool for so many different meals.&nbsp;

  

I’ve been reading alot about the latest fad is using mayonnaise as a steak marinade to add some extra char.&nbsp;

  

Anyone try this after a sous vide? I’m thinking do the steaks as usual on the sous vide and apply a wet rub after with the maynnaise (in this instance kewpie) before putting it on the hottest part of a grill to get a good sear.&nbsp;

  

Thoughts? Or totally not necessary with sous vide.

  

Thanks in advance for your feedback.&nbsp;

Mayonnaise is mostly oil, so the mayo melts and performs similarly as if you had used a liquid oil. &nbsp;I’ve used it for cooking on griddles and cast iron pans, never a problem, I would think that it should be fine on a grill.

I use mayonnaise for grilling sandwiches. Slightly different flavor but not extra flavor. Less likely to burn. Best extra flavour is still butter IMO but I haven’t tried a marinade.
