Vacuum seal steaks two at a time with the Worcestershire, thyme, garlic and mustard. Drop steaks in a water bath regulated with an immersion circulator set to 58°C for 1 hour 30 minutes. Remove steaks and let set. Heat butter in a pan on medium high heat. Add the thyme and garlic from the bag. Sear the outside of the steak until brown. Remove steak from pan and let rest for five minutes. Slice on a bias. To serve, swirl the veal glace onto the center of the plate. Add four confit potatoes to the center. Fan out the hanger steak slices in a half moon shape surrounding the potatoes. Place the sauteed prawn opposite the steak, propped up on the potatoes.
