There’s no uneven cooking when you prepare a flank steak in the Anova Precision Oven. Using sous vide express with 100% humidity and a probe, you can cook a flank steak of any thickness to perfection. Serve with your favorite sauce, such as chimichurri. Note: To make it easy to sear the steak, trim the steak to fit your skillet before cooking.
