Sous Vide Flat Iron Steaks

Submitted by Chef Michael Callah

"Sous Vide style is the absolute best way to create the perfect steak, especially when using lower priced cuts of beef. Steak start off cooking in the immersion circulator set to the perfect temperature for your desired level of doneness (125°F for medium rare), then finished off on a sizzling grill for the finishing look and taste of perfection! Caution: This recipe may not be suitable for most home culinarians. Requires specialty equipment: Immersion Circulator, Vacuum Sealer, and vacuum pouches. This recipe was created by Executive Chef Michael Callahan for the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta Regional Hospital for our Alaska Native (Yupic Eskimo) Patients.

This is what I do, when prepping I wrap the steak in food service wrap then into the vacuum bag. Keeps the seal area on the bag clean and if you reuse the vacuum bag it is a lot easier to clean.

I made this last night. I didn't tweek anything because I like you try the recipe itself first but it definitely needed more flavor. It was good , just missing something. It was tender and perfectly cooked to a med rare the way I like it. I wound definitely use this recipe again as far as temp. And cook time but add more spices , herbs or a different rub all together.
