Instructions
Set your sous vide water bath to 130–131 degrees F.
Remove steaks from packaging and rinse under cold water.
Coat steaks with a light coat of olive oil and season both sides with a pinch of sea salt and pepper.
Seal steaks in a vacuum bag or zip top bag, removing as much air as possible.
Drop into water bath and cover with lid.
Remove steaks from water bath after 36 hours and place immediately in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes.
Get a cast iron pan, grill, or salamander style broiler if you have one, and set it to high heat.
Remove steaks from fridge, pat dry on both sides and coat both sides with a very light coat of avocado oil.
Place steak as close to heat source as possible and sear for one minute on each side.
Remove from heat source, season with pinch of salt (optional) and slice immediately. No rest required on this cut.
Serve with a healthy portion of chimichurri for optimal flavor high.
