Flank steak cooking time

I have been getting ideas from 'Sous Vide Everything' a YouTube channel and have had good luck with their recipes.

About to start flank steak for carne asada and cooking time from Joule app is 8 hours...the cooking time from 'SVE' is 2 hours.

Thickness is the same from both recipes so i'm confused with this 6 hour cooking time difference.

Thanks for any ideas!

Tougher cuts benefit from longer cooking times and result in a more tender, melt-in-your-mouth experience.

Having said that, I suggest you try both.

I vote for longer. I've done both and liked the 8 hrs better. I also watch and enjoy that YouTube channel.

I just went through the same thing and had the same question. Why 45 minutes for regular flank and 8 hours for carne asada? Same meat with different spices. I was cooking plain flank and opted for 8 hours at 131. Meat can't out fine cooked wise but was a little, not mushy but not firm. I didn't like it. I think next time I'll try 2 hours and see how that works. 45 minutes still doesn't seem enough.
