What is the quickest way to create a plane at the middle of a part?

I have a long tube and another item at one of its end which i want to mirror on the other side (imagine a plane normal to the tube as the mirror plane).
What is the quickest (best practices) way of achieving this? Say my end faces of the tube are hidden and i want to somehow just create a plane on one face (it creates it by default at midpoint) and flip it 90 degrees. This doesn't seem possible in OS.

So if I select an edge and hit create place and choose the Mid Plane it should create a Plane Normal to that Edge, which is exactly what I need.
If I knew how to create GIFs I would post this maybe others will benefit too, but for now i hope the text explanation will suffice.
I'll mark this as the answer to stop diverting you guys from more important answers. Edit: Hmm, can't mark my own comment as an answer...
