What is the sous vide cooking method?

Sous vide literally means under vacuum and is done by vacuum sealing foods in a heatproof plastic bag and lowering into a pot. A sous vide device is placed into the pot and the water is slowly brought to a precise temperature without overcooking any portion. This is a popular method for thick steaks, which after resting will then receive a quick sear to crust the exterior portion.
