I made sous vide filet mignon for us and Meredith's parents. I bought Prime level at Costco and sous vide cooked it for about 2.5 hours at 137°F. I used salt, pepper, garlic, and rosemary in the bag.
It came out good but I want to look into better ways to add flavor; especially when searing it. I feel like the flavor is still a bit lacking from a good steakhouse. Certainly not bad though. You could really taste the rosemary!
Even Caroline liked it!
We also made more okra except we roasted it. We followed this guide (no need for a local link) (LOCAL) which says to slice it in half with slice-side up. Then roast for about 35-40 min at 375°F. Well, since I had the oven hot for the steak, we did them for less time at about 475. We liked it in the oven. Easier than the grill!

We made grilled shrimp with mango salsa. Since Meredith's parents are here, I did the full two pounds which worked well!

Meredith made her regular One-Pot Tomato, Bean, and Orzo lunch using Cannelloni beans. It was very good, as usual!

Koefta Burgers except I skipped the coriander and used dried minced (but not powder) onion. They came out really good!
Meredith made her green beans. They needed more salt. And maybe more oil to help get it all to stick.

I made Sous Vide BBQ Pulled Pork. I made a double (triple, quadruple?) portion with the intent to freeze it.
I did all of the normal stuff again just using salt, pepper, garlic powder, and coriander in the rub.
The other big note is that I realized that unlike brisket, you don't want such a thick crust so I only grilled it for about 1.5 hours (plus another half hour or so at a lower temp to keep warm...and then another half our in the oven after being shredded)
This made it more moist (though less healthy I would surmise) and very tasty!
I froze a little bit over three pounds
Meredith also made coleslaw
I did trim off some fat though I didn't seem not how much. And it wasn't very much as there weren't big chunks. And assuming very little was lost in the bag, the difference between the package (includes plastic) and the bags afterwards (includes 4 ziploc bags) is very little
