Is there one single way to cook a steak that's better than all others? That's the question I attempt to answer here and in the video above.

Do you value a more perfectly even gradient of doneness from edge to edge or a deeper, crustier sear on the exterior? Will you be making just one or two steaks, or are you feeding a crowd? And just how adept of a cook are you? The answers to these questions will often lead you to a different steak-cooking conclusion. Daniel Gritzer compares three methods and give you the pros and cons of each: sous vide, reverse-sear, and butter basting.
