    Butter on steak is pretty common in restaurants, Pan or grilled You're right about too much oil fat in sous vide though. That much can coat the tongue and prevent you from tasting anything. Like Homer at that chili contest But pesto is also a lot of strong flavors, and it's folded into plain...
