Flank Steak Fajitas - need more time marinate

BigWader

Here is a quick cook from a couple nights ago - Flank Steak Fajitas

Quick weeknight cook - picked up a Flank Steak at lunch and went home to put in the vacuum sealer with a WS Fajita rub + Worchestershire.  Total time was probably 4 hours in the rub and I think it needed more.

Set the egg up at 600 with cast iron on the spider down low.  Did a cook about 5 minutes a side and when temp hit 120 I pulled to rest.  Served sliced thin in fajitas with homemade guacamole, salsa and the usual fixins.  No sides since it was me and my daughter and I didn't want extra carbs.

Forgot to mention - have a second flank that came in the package from Costco in the same rub in the freezer.  Want to try is sous vide and sear.  Anybody have any time/temp recommendations for Sous Vide flank?

Someone here posted a thread something like "Had my first, and maybe last, skirt steak".  Hope they see that first pic!  (skirt and flank are possibly different cuts, but I can't tell the difference)

My cookbook says: medium-rare 130deg  24 to 48 hrs

                              medium 140 deg   24to 48 hrs

                              well (slow) 160 deg  24 hrs

                             well (quick) 175deg  10 to 14 hrs

Botch flank and skirt are two different cuts
