Ingredients for 4
1 (1 1/2 pound) flank steak

1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup Kahlua, or other coffee liqueur
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Directions
-
Step 1
Set the Anova Sous Vide Precision Cooker to 134°F (56°C).

Step 2
Season the steak with the salt and pepper. Place in a large zipper lock or vacuum seal bag with the Kahlua. Seal the bag using the water immersion technique or a vacuum sealer on the moist setting.
-
Step 3
Place the bag in the water bath and set the timer for 12 hours. Cover the water bath with plastic wrap to minimize water evaporation.

Step 0
When the timer goes off, remove the bag from the water bath. Remove the steak from the bag and pat very dry with paper towels.

Step 1
Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is shimmering, add the steak and sear until well-browned on both sides, about 2 1/2 minutes per side. (Alternatively, grill the steak for 5 minutes over high heat.)

Step 2
Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes. Slice and serve.
