The recipe instructions are longer than the character limit for a post so I'll just link it.

https://www.chefsteps.com/activities/blackened-tri-tip

Ingredients

• 35 g Brown sugar, divided

• 25 g Molasses, light (mild flavor)

• 20 g Worcestershire sauce

• 15 g Smoked salt, divided

• 12 g Black pepper, freshly ground, divided

• 5 g Liquid smoke

• 1 Beef tri-tip, (about 1 kg; 2.2 pounds)

• 9 g Dried orange peel, finely ground

• 2.5 g Cinnamon, ground

• 2.5 g Allspice, ground

• 2.5 g Cumin seeds, ground

• 2.5 g Mustard powder

• 1 g Rosemary, dried, finely ground

• 1 g Red pepper flakes, finely ground

• 30 g Neutral oil, plus extra as needed

• 2 Radicchio, heads, quartered lengthwise (about 275 g)

• 2 Gem romaine lettuce, heads, halved lengthwise (about 225 g)

• 1 recipe of Grilled Tomato Vinaigrette, divided

• 150 g Cherry tomatoes, quartered

• 65 g Red onion(s), (1/4 medium onion) thinly sliced

Grilled tomato vinaigrette:
https://www.chefsteps.com/activities/grilled-tomato-vinaigrette

Ingredients

• 8 g Fennel seeds

• 240 g Sherry vinegar

• 24 g Sugar

• 1 Tomato(es), large beefsteak (about 425 g; 15 ounces)

• 4 g Kosher salt, plus extra as needed

• 0.5 g Black pepper, freshly ground, plus extra as needed

• 110 g Extra-virgin olive oil

The only deviations were using a regular tomato because the stores didn't have a beefsteak tomato in December and using a gas grill + liquid smoke because I don't own a wood grill.

I skipped the optional goat cheese because my husband doesn't like it.

This recipe is pretty involved. I dehydrated my own oranges for the rub and it was in the sous vide at 131°F for 25 hours before finishing on the grill. This is not a same day dinner.

It was delicious.

    Good on ya OP. You’re a credit to “happy spouse happy house” everywhere.

    As a Californian, 131 degree Tri-Tip doesn’t get served around here. At that temp, the intramuscular fat doesn’t render and it’s extremely chewy.

    I don’t cook mine under 135. If you ever get a prime Tri tip, try it like a brisket. It’s delicious without the extra extra fat.

    It’s nice to see a plate in this sub that isn’t just the meat aside a massive pile of mashed potatoes and two pieces of asparagus.

    I’ve been doing tri-tip sous-vide for years, and it always comes out amazing. Most people aren’t even aware of the cut of beef, so please don’t tell anyone so the price doesn’t go up, LOL.

    Looks great! Nice presentation

  10. AThousandBloodhounds

    Well you did it. You’ve achieved perfection. Thanks for the links, I’m going to try this one, for sure.

    Is that we call a rib eye in the UK?

  12. Just_Eye2956

    Lucky man, looks delicious the whole lot. Great effort. 👌

  13. chapashdp

    Looks great, except for those long ass fake nails though 🤢

  14. PeanutSC803

    If you need a second husband let me know. 😂 nice job!

    Looks amazing. I’m the opposite, I don’t like slightly cooked tritip. I think it needs a couple hours to soften and absorb flavor. I sear and wrap for about 3 hours @300 indirect. Sou vide and a sear sound like the perfect way to cook tritip.

  16. toorigged2fail

    25 hours 😯! I’ve never cooked tri tip and wouldn’t have thought to go that long without looking up what others have done.

  17. GangsterGrandmda

    That looks delicious, I do have one question tho. Where you get the chicken statues from? Lol

  18. DNGR_S_PAPERCUT

    The sous vide was invented specifically for tri tip and you can’t convince me otherwise. Best use of this machine.

  19. GMaharris

    Possibly the most beautifully presented tri tip I’ve seen. Awesome work! I’m sure it was an absolute hit 🙂

  20. International_Bit478

    You’re both right. I’ve never gotten good tri tip from a restaurant. At home though, it slaps.

  21. That is one of the nicest plates of food I have seen here. Well done!

  22. networknev

    Everything except chicken/ roosters are wonderful.
