Ingredients for 6
3 lbs flank steak (2 steaks)
1-2 tbs salt
2 tbs fresh ground pepper
2 tbs turbinado sugar
1 tbs paprika (smoked if available)
1/2 - 1 tbs hot pepper of choice
2 tbs apple cider vinegar
2 dashes of Worcestershire
2 tbs dark chili powder
1 tbs olive oil
Directions
-
Step 1
Prepare vacuum or ziplock bag (I prefer vacuum seal to ziplock immersion) Be sure to roll the vacuum bag edge back at least 2” to prevent fouling the seal.
-
Step 2
Place dry ingredients in bowl and mix well.
-
Step 3
Dry rub the flank steaks. Flank steak is generally very lean so do not trim.
-
Step 4
Place olive oil, vinegar and Worcestershire on top of dry rub to distribute. This makes the rub almost a tar-like paste.
-
Step 5
Vacuum seal and let rest at least 15 mins - while sous vide preheats.
-
Step 6
Set your Anova Sous Vide Precision Cooker to 142.0ºF / 61.1ºC.
-
Step 7
Cook beef for 12 hours In Sous Vide.

Step 0
After sous vide is complete, take vacuum bag(s) out of water and let them rest for at least 30 minutes before grilling. Preserve drippings.
-
Step 1
Bring grill to high heat and sear on each side 4 minutes. Rotate 90 degrees at 2 minutes to get crossed searing lines.
-
Step 2
Let the seared meat lay in the drippings and cool. After at least 10 minutes cut into thin slices across the grain.
-
Step 3
Serve in the drippings.
