The Sous Vide Technique:
The Sous Vide Cooker can be used to cook the Flat Iron Steak! The trick is to salt and then Sous Vide the Flat Iron steak.
Instructions for the Sous Vide cook:
1. Salt the Flat Iron Steak on both sides and let rest on a rack in the refrigerator for an hour.
2. After an hour either vacuum pack the Flat Iron Steak using a Vacuum Sealer Machine and put into Sous Vide container or proceed with #3:
3. Put Flat Iron Steak into a Ziplock bag (zip top of bag most of way shut and then slowly insert the bag into the Sous Vide Container filled with water, when the water level nears the top of the zip lock bag seal off the rest of way).
4. Set the Anovo Sous Vide Cooker to cook the steak at 125 degrees.
5. After two hours pull the bag out of the Sous Vide and the steak out of the bag and pat the Flat Iron Steak dry with paper towels.
6. Put a little pepper on both sides if desired and then sear the Flat Iron Steak off for 1 to 2 minutes on each side either in a hot cast iron skillet or on a hot grill.
Once the sear is completed remove the steak from the grill and slice it thin and across the grain. Because the steak has been Sous Vide'd it does not require the 5 minute rest period and can be sliced immediatly.
Enjoy your Woody Wagyu Flat Iron Steak!
