Beautiful color on that btw!

Carne Crosta rub is a secret weapon for steak searing, for sure, JakeT . No burnt taste, just a delicous, flavorful char. I got hooked on it a while back, thanks to recommendations here on The Pit.

That is one gorgeous flank steak. Nice job!

Sous vide is great if I'm pulling an item from the freezer. This was already defrosted so I went ahead and cooked it "traditionally". A little bit more fun and keeps up the variety of cooking for me. I do have a frozen flank steak that may get a little SVQ treatment here pretty soon!

The chimi would definitely have made it even better. I actually got some small batch olive oil I want to try for a chimi soon!

[JakeT]

Yes, and the Carne Crosta worked its wonderful magic. It actually was one of the better tasting steaks I’ve made in a while. I’m only bummed I really never come by flat iron. All the flavor of flank steak but much more tender!

Great work man! I was gonna say....flip that baby continuously until she is at the internal temp you want. The flat iron is perfect for that. Looks like you nailed it though.

Beautimous!

What she said. It's a winner.

jfmorris The only reason I have a gasser is due to laziness! Plus standing outside in the cold and/or wind isn't very appealing for longer than you have to.

Nice!

[jfmorris]

Looks great!

I end up using my gasser a lot for hot and fast cooks like this - about the only time I do lately, as it often doesn't make sense waiting 30 minutes to fire up charcoal for something that cokos in just a few minutes, and has little time to pick up smoke flavor. If its the weekend I may light charcoal in the SNS, but otherwise, gas is much more convenient.

I ended up hot and fast on my gasser, basted with garlic olive oil. Delicious!!

Second sous vide. It's one of the few cuts I'll cook that way and then sear.
