Hey all I would really love to try out this flank recipe with Kahlua. The ingredients show massive 1 1/2 pound flank, I have two 8 oz pieces. Should I calculate the new time or stick with the 12h as in the recipe? > **[Sous Vide Kahlua-Marinated Flank Steak](https://recipes.anovaculinary.com/recipe/sous-vide-kahlua-marinated-flank-steak)** > > We're big fans of having a delicious, protein-filled dish served for dinner — and this sous vide Kahlua-marinated flank steak is the one of our favorites. When prepared in the Anova Sous Vide Precision Cooker, it's the most tender flank steak you'll... Hopping to hear soon as I would heat up the cooker in 3-4 hours 🙂 Thanks a bunch! ---

Flank steaks are all roughly the same thickness and that is normally what you go by when setting time. For flank you are cooking well beyond the time needed to just cook the meat, you are extending the time to make it tender. I would not change the recipe time. ---

Kuldar, most cooks follow a new recipe all the way the first time they use it. Of course you can adjust the recipe if your personal preference for that cut of meat is significantly different. Just have a good reason for making recipe changes or you will never know how good that recipe could have been. ---

The cooking time seems accurate, don’t change it. ---
