Ingredients
- 1.5-2 pounds flank steak
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Directions
- In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, dried thyme, dried oregano, ground black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
- Place the flank steak in a gallon-sized resealable bag.
- Pour the marinade over the steak, seal the bag, and massage the marinade into the steak to ensure it is evenly coated. Place the bag in the refrigerator and let the steak marinate for at least 1 hour, but ideally overnight.
- Preheat your sous vide water bath to 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare.
- Remove the steak from the marinade and pat it dry with paper towels.
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over high heat.
- Sear the steak on both sides until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Transfer the steak to a vacuum-sealable bag or a zipper-lock bag and remove the air using a vacuum sealer or the water displacement method.
- Place the bag in the preheated water bath and cook for 2 hours.
- Once cooked, remove the steak from the bag and pat it dry with paper towels. Discard the marinade.
- Heat a grill or grill pan over high heat.
- Sear the steak on the grill for about 1-2 minutes per side to develop a nice crust.
- Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Slice the steak against the grain and serve immediately.
