i haven't done that specific cut yet but since it's relatively lean i think i would do around 135-137 for an hour and a half or so.

Likely not even that long, but perhaps that extra time would be nice to render down the fat

I smoke them at 250 for an hour for a nice medium rare.

there isn't much fat though in a flank steak really at all- i was just saying that long because it is a larger chunk of meat and this would get it cooked more uniformed... you couldn't overcook it- it would just get almost too tender

No fat on a flank, but a lot of connective tissue.

Did 137 for about 2 hours.. was so tender.. not super medium more medium rare.. I think maybe 138-139 will make it perfect

Are you guys putting hot water in the boxes first or just tap water?

I figure my water comes out at about 130 anyway, why stress the heater in the machine? I start with hot water and let the anova fine tune it

I'm attempting some cheap ass steaks from jewel right now.

I added hot water first. I figured I'd give it the bump to get it going.

I use hot water so has some temp... Then let it heat up to the temp you want and drop the goodies in..

You need to get more air out of those bags... they should not be floating like that.

I may have to get a vacuum sealer. I tried a couple times.

They did turn out really tasty still.
