You can get away with 2 to 4 hours like most normal steaks but because of the sickness in the fat It’s highly recommended to give it at least 6 if not closer to 8 hours to allow that fat cap to help render. Make sure to score the fat cap before you vacuum seal it. A simple marinade of kosher salt plus minus pepper and perhaps crushed garlic makes this just simple and amazing.
