It does. I think it works better for duck breasts though. Working my way through that FT article I find the flipping-every-30-seconds works best, but that might be because we prefer fillet steak

I’m assuming this is Tim Hayward At It Again? (My sister bought me his Steak book and it is excellent)

I say this assuming you used sous vide to do the pre-searing cooking?

Ahh, I need to give them one a go again as I ended up undercooking them as I didn't trust just to leave them in for that long. And we do actually have an oven that will happily sit at exactly 60 degrees

With duck breast you've got a lot more fat to render than a steak, particular a fillet (This is a rib eye / can't really be bothered with steak household)
