Sous Vide Flat Iron Steak Recipes

SOUS VIDE FLAT IRON STEAK

Steps:

• Pour the marinade over the steak for 6 to 8 hours before cooking. Discard the marinade.
• Prep your sous vide machine according to the manufacturers' directions for 125 degrees F.
• Pat the flat iron dry and rub with a liberal coating of 2 tbsp Tony Chachere's Original Creole Seasoning all over.
• Place the flat iron in a food-safe bag and seal so there are no air pockets.
• Submerge the now sealed steak in the water and set the timer for 1 hour.
• When the flat iron has reached 125 degrees in the sous vide and is done, remove from the water and carefully remove the steak from the bag, reserving the juices.
• Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
• Add butter and swirl to coat the pan.
• Sprinkle the remaining tablespoon of Tony Chachere's seasoning over the steak and gently place into the pan. There will be a sizzle.
• Sear on both sides until brown, 3 to 5 minutes, rotating and basting in butter as needed to form a good crust on all sides.
• Use caution and an instant-read thermometer to not cook the steak past 135 degrees for rare.
• Once the steak has rested a proper 10 minutes, slice in ⅛ to ¼" inch slices on a bias against the grain to serve.
