Serious Eats is the best resource, imo. Beyond that, I just google whatever cut of meat I want to sous vide.
The basic principle is temperature = doneness, time = tenderness.
For example, since I like medium rare meat, I cook steaks at 54C/131F and the longer I cook them, the more tender they are. (I tend to do 2-4 hours for steaks.) Then out of the sous vide bag, dry them off, and sear them in a blazing hot skillet with some sort of high temp fat.

Yup! Deliciously tender meat that's still medium rare. It's amazing.
With a WiFi sous vide, you can also load your bin with ice before you go to work and start it up when you're ready. Which is convenient!

Download the Joule app. It is free. It will not control your Anova, but it has a brain-dead interface that will provide you with recommended times and temps (and recipes). I have loved every single one I tried. The Anova app is Ok, but it is critical you factor in how thick the meat is and if it is fresh or frozen. The Joule app is set up to handle that. Have fun with your new toy!!!!
