Sous Vide Flat Iron Steaks
« Reply #-1 on: May 24, 2014, 09:15:45 AM »
I got four frozen Flat Iron steaks. They are a tough cut so time to experiment with the Dorkfood DSV...



Into the pool still frozen with cool water...



Dorkfood DSV set to 131F...



I figure around 10 hours then a high temp sear on the Uuni to finish. See you after dinner ;)

Took about 1 hour and 30 minutes for the water to reach 130F from 60F. That was with four frozen steaks. Just a FYI for those who may try starting from frozen meat.

Mike - will 130F be hot enough to allow the marbling to liquify enough to moisturize the steak? They do look like some nice steaks. Any toughness left after the Sous-Vide cooking?

Should be hot enough. I plan to go at least 8 hours.

These are well trimmed so there is not a bunch of the heavy fat and cartilage normally found.

They are supposed to cut like butter when done. ;)

Looks like they are going to be finished tomorrow. My wife reminded me we have a party to attend at a friend's house this afternoon so I will take them out when I get home tonight and then sear them in the Uuni tomorrow for lunch.

Nice thing about cooking Sous Vide is that cooking times are very flexible ;)

So I got a late start on these because I was putting up a Pergola for the back patio since the house I am renting does not have a patio cover...



So here is how they looked after 13 hours at 131F last night when I got home. I pulled them out then popped them in the fridge for today's cook...



Today I removed them from the bag and patted them dry...



Then I hit them with some Double-Secret Steak Rub...



Then a two minute sear(1 minute per side) in the Uuni...





Sliced across the grain like butter...





Plated...





These steaks are normally very tough but the 13 hours in the Sous Vide bath from frozen made them fork tender and so tasty!
