This easy sous vide flat Iron Steak is cooked medium-rare and is so tender and full of flavor. Choose your favorite store-brand of beef seasoning rub or do a custom seasoning according to your taste preference.
Ingredients
- 1-½ to 2 pounds flat iron steak
- 2-3 tablespoons dry beef rub
To Sear the Steak
- high smoke point oil such as safflower or refined avocado oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
Prepare the sous vide system:
- Fill the sous vide water container with water, attach the heating unit, and set it to your desired temperature. We set our unit to 130°F for medium-rare. You should choose the temperature that you like your steak cooked to.
Prepare the Steak:
- Pat the steak dry with a paper towel.
- Coat the flat iron on both sides with the rub, rubbing it into the surface. (we used our Santa Maria Rub)
- Transfer the steak to the refrigerator for one hour so the rub can penetrate into the steak. (this is an optional step).
- Place the flat iron steak in a vacuum-seal bag and seal, removing the air. Optionally, submerge a ziplock bag in water (without submerging the opening) and let the water push all the air out, then seal the bag.
