Flank Steak Cook Time

Anova Precision® Cooker

I’m planning to cook two 2lb flank steaks with chimichurri sauce. Has anybody had any experience with flank steak cook time and temperature?

The Anova app suggest 90 minutes @ 131, but I have seen posts on the Internet suggesting cook times from 6 hours to 2 days. Why the disperity and what is right?

Also, if anyone has a great chimichurri sauce recipe, that would be great!

Thanks in advance !

Sorry no experience with flank steak for me. When I make it the time under the broiler is relatively short and then I cut it for sandwiches. I might try it someday.

The longer cook times are going to yield a more tender steak.There comes a point though when it’s going to pass from steak to tender to mush. I can’t necessarily say when that is for flank steak, as I typically grill them.

A long article, but a good read on steak cooking times and what happens along the way can be found here:

Here’s a good recipe for a Cuban chimichurri sauce - you can just substitute parsley for cilantro if you want the more traditional Argentinean version.
