Sous Vide - Hanger Steak Fajitas

When I worked at ESPN, we used to go out to get fajitas once a week. I love the soft tortilla wrapper, sizzling meat, and crisp peppers and onions. I still get them often when I’m visiting, but for a more regular fix I have to make my own. I usually have diced tomatoes, refried beans, Mexican rice, grated cheese, guacamole, and sour cream on the table when I’m serving these, but you can stick with any of the sides you enjoy.

Ingredients

1/2 tsp ground coriander
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp chipotle pepper powder
1-2 lbs hanger Steak
2 tbsp canola oil
2 onions
3 bell peppers
1-2 poblano peppers
1 tbsp soy sauce
10 tortilla wrappers
sour cream

Instructions

Preheat a water bath to 131°F.
Mix together the spices in a small bowl. Lightly salt and pepper the steak, then sprinkle with the spices. Place the hanger steak in a sous vide bag and seal. Place the bag in the water bath and cook for 2 to 4 hours, until heated through.
Heat the canola oil in a pan over medium to medium-high heat. Add the onions and peppers, and cook until they just begin to brown and are cooked through. Add the soy sauce and toss to coat the peppers and onions. Remove from the heat and set aside.
Take the sous vide bag out of the water and remove the cooked hanger steak. Dry it off thoroughly, using paper towels or a clean dish cloth. Lightly salt the steak then quickly sear it for 1 to 2 minutes per side, just until browned. Remove it from the heat.
Cut the hanger steak into slices.
Serve the sliced hanger steak with the tortilla wrappers, peppers and onions, and the sour cream plus additional sides to complement the fajitas.
