Sous Vide Flank Steak
Description
Sous Vide Flank Steak uses careful seasoning with kosher salt and black pepper, followed by vacuum sealing to ensure even cooking in a water bath set precisely at 130°F (54°C) for 45 minutes. This method gently cooks the steak to medium rare throughout, avoiding overcooking. After sous vide, brushing the steak with avocado oil prepares the surface for grilling at high heat to develop a nicely charred crust and enhance flavor. The grilling step takes about 5 to 7 minutes at 450°F (230°C), finishing the steak to 130°F (54°C) for medium rare. The combination of sous vide and grilling delivers a tender, juicy steak with a balanced crust without drying out the meat.
The steak can be served sliced across the grain to maximize tenderness and pairs well with simple sides that complement beef, such as roasted vegetables or a light salad. This approach allows the natural flavor of the flank steak to shine with minimal seasoning.
Ingredients
- 2½ lbs flank steak
- 1 tbsp kosher salt
- 1 tbsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp avocado oil or similar high temp oil.
Instructions
- Season (addition of salt and pepper) both sides and all edges of the steak.
- Place inside a food saver bag, large enough to fit the steak. Use a vacuum sealer to remove unwanted air.
- Place the bag in a container filled with enough water to submerge the bag of steak. Set the sous vide device to 130 degrees F / 54 degrees C for 45 minutes for a medium rare finish.
- Remove the steak from the bag. Gently brush (or spray) the oil onto all sides and edges of the steak. Grill the Flank Steak for 5-7 minutes at 450 degrees F / 230 degrees C, or until 130 degrees F / 54 degrees C is reached if you want a medium / rare Steak.
