The aim of this study was to verify the quality of steak cattle processed in industrial scale using sous vide technology during the sequential steps of the process. Physico-chemical and microbiological analysis were performed with the bovine muscle steaks Supraspinatus in natura, Steaks were spicy and processed by sous vide technology (80°C/5 hours) and stored at 3°C for 0, 15, 30, 45 and 60 days for stability studies. It was also performed sensory evaluation of steaks during storage at 0 and 30 days at 3 ° C to verify the acceptance and the color, aroma, flavor, juiciness, texture, overall impression and attitude of purchase. The stability of sous vide bovine steak allowed to observe a few changes in parameters such as ash, protein, a *, b *, Chroma, Hue, and no changes in L *, moisture and fat during the storage time for 60 days at 3°C. There was no significant difference (p <0.05) between the characteristics of samples for flavor, juiciness, texture and overall impression, however significant difference (p> 0.05) was achieved for color and aroma. The responses for purchase intent showed that consumers rated the samples near the hedonic term (4) corresponding to "I would probably buy", with no significant difference (p> 0.05%) between samples. There were counts of aerobic mesophilic, coliform and fecal coliforms in natura steak, steak seasoned and Listeria monocytogenes in one of five collections of in natura steak, but these microorganisms were not found in any sample submitted to sous vide technology and for stability studies. Spores were detected in aerobic and anaerobic sous vide steak during storage. Thus, treatment (80 °C/5 hours) is not sufficient to make the food free of microorganisms capable of reproduction in the product in non-refrigerated storage conditions. Cooking sous vide a final product provided with a greater retention of nutrients (proteins, fat). The storage for 30 days at 3°C seems to have contributed to the change of the sensory characteristics of the samples. This indicates that the sous vide steaks may be stored successfully for 30 days at 3°C and sensory quality can be acceptable to consumers. The results of this study confirm the technological potential of the Supraspinatus muscle for the preparation of steak sous vide, and the viability of its production and marketing for human consumption. In general, the steak sous vide kept its properties during the storage, being an excellent source of nutrition, especially in regard to protein content. The sous vide technology presents itself as an excellent alternative to the meat market by adding value to the product and maintain their quality characteristics
