INGREDIENTS
- ▢1 2-3 LBS FLAT IRON STEAK
- ▢1 CUP TONY CHACHERE’S POURABLE STEAKHOUSE MARINADE
- ▢3 TBSP TONY CHACHERE’S ORIGINAL CREOLE SEASONING
- ▢2 TBS BUTTER
INSTRUCTIONS
MARINATE THE STEAK:
- Pour the marinade over the steak for 6 to 8 hours before cooking. Discard the marinade.
PREP THE SOUS VIDE:
- Prep your sous vide machine according to the manufacturers’ directions for 125 degrees F.
PREP THE FLAT IRON:
- Pat the flat iron dry and rub with a liberal coating of 2 tbsp Tony Chachere’s Original Creole Seasoning all over.
SOUS VIDE:
- Place the flat iron in a food-safe bag and seal so there are no air pockets.
- Submerge the now sealed steak in the water and set the timer for 1 hour.
- When the flat iron has reached 125 degrees in the sous vide and is done, remove from the water and carefully remove the steak from the bag, reserving the juices.
SEAR:
- Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add butter and swirl to coat the pan.
- Sprinkle the remaining tablespoon of Tony Chachere’s seasoning over the steak and gently place into the pan. There will be a sizzle.
- Sear on both sides until brown, 3 to 5 minutes, rotating and basting in butter as needed to form a good crust on all sides.
- Use caution and an instant-read thermometer to not cook the steak past 135 degrees for rare.
SERVE:
- Once the steak has rested a proper 10 minutes, slice in ⅛ to ¼” inch slices on a bias against the grain to serve.
