• Submerge the bags into the water carefully. Set a timer for one hour, or up to two hours, maximum
• Carefully remove the steaks from the bags and pat them dry. Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear for 1-2 minutes on each side. Rest for five minutes before slicing or serving

Steps:

• Add water to the sous vide container or a large pot, and set the Sous Vide Precision Cooker to (135°F/57°C) for medium-rare doneness. If you'd like to cook to other doneness, see the temperature chart in the post above.
• Season your flat iron steak generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
• Place the seasoned steak to a zip-lock bag.
• Seal all but one corner of the bag, and slowly place it into the water bath. Make sure everything below the zip-line is covered by water, and push the air out. (If the water is already heating up, you can use a kitchen tong to push the bag into the water). Then seal the rest of the bag. (This technique is called "water displacement method").
• Lave the vacuum-sealed bag in the sous vide water bath. Make sure it is fully submerged.
• Cook for 2 hours.
• When the timer goes off, remove the bag from the water bath and transfer it to an ice bath (or refrigerator). Let it chill for about 10 minutes.
• Remove the steak from the bag and wipe off the moisture with paper towels. (Make sure to pat dry the surface completely.)
• Season with more salt and pepper if necessary.
• Place the cast-iron skillet or grill on medium-high heat, and add olive oil. Once hot, add the steak and sear about 1 minute per side. (If you use grill, you can brush the oil on the steak).
• Slice against the grain and serve immediately.

SOUS VIDE FLANK STEAK

Steps:

• Fill the water bath container, position circulator, and preheat to 130 degrees F (54 degrees C) according to manufacturer recommendations.
• Combine onion, rosemary, garlic, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce in a blender or small food processor; pulse ingredients until smooth.
• Pat flank steak pieces dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Spread onion mixture on both sides of the flank steaks. Place each seasoned flank steak in a 2-quart zip-top freezer bag, squeeze out all the air, and seal the bags.
• When the bath has reached 130 degrees, place bags in the water bath. Secure bags to the side of the bath, so they will not overlap each other or come in contact with the circulator. Alternatively, use a rack in the bottom of the bath to hold the sealed bags. Bags should be in the circulating 130 degree F (54 degrees C) bath for 1 hour and 30 minutes.
• About 5 minutes prior to the end of the cook time, set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
• When the cook time is complete, remove flank steak from the bags and place on a broiler pan.
• Broil in the preheated oven until they reach the desired browning, about 3 minutes per side. Remove from oven and tent with aluminum foil for 5 to 10 minutes. The broiler and the foil tent will allow the internal temperature to rise to 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), or medium doneness, when tested with an instant read thermometer.
• Slice steak across the grain of the meat into thin slices for serving. Season with additional Worcestershire sauce, if desired.
