Sous Vide Flank Steak

[uncle eddie]

Since mother nature is trying to drown us here in Missouri, we decided to keep the cooking mostly inside went with a flank steak in the (Inkbird) sous vide.

Pulled it from the deep freeze this morning, let it thaw for a couple of hours, repackaged it in shrink wrap with our fave marinade, rested it in the fridge until this afternoon. Cooked the flank steak for 1 hour at 140F in the sous vide. Finished it on the gas grill on high for about 2 minutes per side.

For a quick meal, this was pretty easy and very tasty. The flank steak was juicy and tender too.

plopped it in the sous vide....

quick sear on the gas grill

sliced - juicy and tender

and (paper) plated - nothing fancy but it was a nice meal.

SIDE NOTE: The Inkbird is a very fine sous vide - love it - but the Joule sous vide app is absolutely amazing. It has a video of every recipe at every temperature so you can see what it looks like before you set the temperature. It 100% takes the guesswork out of it. If you have a sous vide, seriously consider downloading the Joule app. You will have to register to get it to work, but I never get any emails, ads or spam from Joule (or Inkbird).

So the Joule app will control the inkbird SV?

 

[chopsaw]

I think he's talking about recipes in the app with cook times and temps . The Anova app has the same thing .

 

[uncle eddie]

So the Joule app will control the inkbird SV?

clifish - the Joule app does not control the Inkbird sous vide. The Joule app has fantastic recipes with videos of each meat cut, at each of the temperatures that they list - and there are many temps for each recipe.

For a high quality sear just reach for your 500,000 BTU weed burner. Just be careful of where your meat is. It will melt foil!

 

[chopsaw]

For a high quality sear

I use cast iron . Dry meat , dry pan . Add butter at the flip . Comes out great and smells better than propane .
