I have a 3 lb sirloin with a nice fat cap from a local farmer. Suggestions or recommendations on sous vide for this? My idea would be to finish it on the grill, but I’ve never cooked a sirloin like this. Thanks!

  2. Score the fat in diamond pattern just through the fat and dry brine it overnight. Salt doesn’t penetrate fat, and neither will flavors. This also allows better finish and crispiness. I’d go 6h at 145f (Quite hot, I know, but pork sirloin can have a lot of connective tissue) and finish it by doing most of the finish on the fat cap.
