the result is very similar, but unlike sous vide the steak surface comes out very dry, and that allows a better and faster searing

just buy a probe thermometer like pic related, they're very cheap now.

most digital probe thermometers these days are pretty fast, even the cheap ones. The model in your picture is almost instant.
the main problem with those is that it's not always easy to pick the right spot to read the temperature, especially for smaller pieces of foods. But for a thick steak or a roast it's a no brainer.
If you are too clumsy to check the temperature while it's still cooking you could use one of this and wait until the food reaches the right temperature.
