Welp. If there is one thing I've learned, it's that looks can be deceiving. Choice+ trip tip, salted 3 hours in advance, sous vide at 132 for 2.5 hours, good sear on a cast iron pan, proper rest amounts, the works. Looks great, flavor was exceptional… One of the absolute toughest steaks I've ever eaten. Definitely should have cooked this 135ish for 3.5 hours. Next time.

Stunning 😋😋
Oooh that’s a pretty color.
Awesome preparation and presentation! Thanks for sharing, Chef! 🥩😎
>One of the absolute toughest steaks I’ve ever eaten
Good on OP for being honest. From the internal pic, I was wondering. The muscle fiber structure stayed too cohesive is what gave it away for me. I smoke tri tips, so I don’t have any sous vide advice to offer, but would like to hear about the next one from OP to see what the winning process is. Good luck!
Damn !! That’s a good looking tip
You got a bad cow. I’ve done tri-tip sous-vide @131 for 2-3 hours for years, and it comes out amazing. I can usually pull it right apart. Try it again. Sorry for your loss.
If you cook it longer next time it won’t be edible. It’s perfect like it is.
Someone break out the RGB chart
That looks SO FUCKING GOOD
Edit: Got too excited, sorry it was tough :
Just the tip!
looks great though
I marinade mine overnight, then grill it until medium rare then pull it. Perfect every time.
A good vet will have that meat mooing again.
You kidding? Plate me up. This looks like how I want my prime rib to look when I slice into it. If I was served this, I would be all about it.
