Steps:
- Add water to the sous vide container or a large pot, and set the Sous Vide Precision Cooker to (135°F/57°C) for medium-rare doneness. If you'd like to cook to other doneness, see the temperature chart in the post above.
- Season your flat iron steak generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Place the seasoned steak to a zip-lock bag.
- Seal all but one corner of the bag, and slowly place it into the water bath. Make sure everything below the zip-line is covered by water, and push the air out. (If the water is already heating up, you can use a kitchen tong to push the bag into the water). Then seal the rest of the bag. (This technique is called "water displacement method").
- Lave the vacuum-sealed bag in the sous vide water bath. Make sure it is fully submerged.
- Cook for 2 hours.
- When the timer goes off, remove the bag from the water bath and transfer it to an ice bath (or refrigerator). Let it chill for about 10 minutes.
- Remove the steak from the bag and wipe off the moisture with paper towels. (Make sure to pat dry the surface completely.)
- Season with more salt and pepper if necessary.
- Place the cast-iron skillet or grill on medium-high heat, and add olive oil. Once hot, add the steak and sear about 1 minute per side. (If you use grill, you can brush the oil on the steak).
- Slice against the grain and serve immediately.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality flat iron steaks for the best results. Look for steaks that are at least 1 inch thick and have good marbling.
- Use a vacuum sealer to seal the steaks in airtight bags before cooking. This will help to prevent them from drying out during the cooking process.
- Sous vide the steaks at a precise temperature to achieve the desired doneness. For medium-rare steaks, cook them at 135°F for 1-2 hours. For medium steaks, cook them at 145°F for 1-2 hours. For medium-well steaks, cook them at 155°F for 1-2 hours.
- After cooking, immediately transfer the steaks to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. This will help to prevent them from overcooking.
- Pat the steaks dry before searing them. This will help to create a nice crust.
- Sear the steaks in a hot skillet for 1-2 minutes per side, or until they are browned to your liking.
- Let the steaks rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help to redistribute the juices and make them more tender.
