So, I run across this recipe and it sounds excellent. It's a lot of work actually but I'm home watching football all day and can get things done during the course of the day as it's not meant to be a hot meal.
Started out the night before pickling some onions. Two of my favorite things, onions and vinegar. Next day, had to get the steak ready. Found an excellent Flat Iron at 2.2#'s. So, got that dressed up per the recipe and decided the SV had to be the way to go. I cooked it rare for an hour.
During the day, I also caramelized some onions and got some fixings ready per the recipe.
And since the SV was empty, I poached some eggs. The recipe called for fried eggs but the Mrs. is not a fan and we all loved poached in the family.
Along the way, also cooked some Jasmine rice and added the recipe spices to it after it was finished. It really didn't make a dent so a wasted step.
However, I was still paying attention to that wonderful Flat Iron so I finished it on the grill.
Rested it and got to slicing. I just love this process for steaks and chicken breasts.
The steak tasted fantastic and I had to guard it as my 14 year old kept trying to "sample" it on repeated occasions.
Then, it was dinner time, got everything prepared per the recipe:
We all sat down to eat, and guess what........Nobody liked it, myself included. I post this whole thing to say that it doesn't always end well. But, it's fun to keep trying.
The good news is that we have enough Flat Iron left to make steak sandwiches tonight. Those I can do and not screw up. So, it's not a total loss. Thanks for looking and keep on trying new stuff.
