My rib-eye steak with a cacoa & chili spice rub, just having been seared off in the Lodge griddle pan. Cooked for 60 mins at 124º. Second attempt at using the Anova device. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/anova/original/2X/7/77e892b585f53e9545b79a88872fe42b8ee9a03a.jpg) ---

Looks like perfection…I’ve been meaning to try cacoa as a rub…how did it turn out? ---

Did you take a picture after you cut it? It looks great. ---

OK! Its 3 AM. Now I’m hungry! Eating a picture, especially digital, just doesn’t do it! It looks just great! What about the cocoa-rub? What is the recipe? Was it good? Great? Now Ikm off to the kitchen to scrounge… ---

Question: Is the rub applied pre-sous vide or pre-searing or both? Have never tried cocoa on beef but on a related side note I can say that a rub consisting of dark roast coffee grounds is a real treat! Allow the flavors to penetrate for a while in the fridge. 😛 ---

Hi, I applied the rub dry to both sides of the meat before sealing in the bag. Once cooked, I then patted the meat dry and hit it on the skillet to sear and colour. ---

Hi, the Cacoa & Chili rub is a Santa Maria Spice product, available in the UK. There really wasn’t a recipe, it was more a case of here’s the meat, here’s a rub, give it a go! ---
