Sous Vide Flank Steak

[TdeV]

This Saturday we'll be having a Wine Time. Sous vide flank steak is planned as one of the dishes.

 

The flank steak is 1.6 lbs, about 10" - 14" long (it's currently folded). The plan is to marinate for a few days, then sous vide.

 

In the past we've sautéed after the sous vide has finished. Currently, no outdoor barbecue.

 

Suggestions? Recommended time and temperature?

Years ago, I used to make flank steak SV pretty regularly.  My goto was 131F for 24 hours, then torch before serving.

I concur w @KennethT

 

sometimes the ends of the FS are quite gnarly .  consider minimal trim there.

 

when torching , make sure the surface is dry , or flash sear in a hot pan.

I used to grill , after marinating 24 hrs , on a very hot grill .

 

just to get a quick but decent char on each side , then rest .

 

then slice thinly .  the meat was rare , but sliced thinly , was tender and extraordinarily delicious .

I do flank steak @133F for 4 hours followed by a fast sear.
