I know the issues with fresh garlic on steak sous vide, but what about dried minced garlic rehydrated with oil?

    Still gonna burn.

    Add the garlic at the end of your sear with a bunch of butter for basting.

    Dry brining with oil also defeats the purpose of dry brining. The moisture can’t evaporate if it’s trapped under a layer of oil.

    A dry brine also doesn’t make that much sense before sous vide, if I’m going to brine/marinate before sous vide I just do it in the bag I’m going to cook in. Also the danger from fresh garlic is really not that big of a deal and not likely to be harmful at all, but I would still just use dried garlic just without the oil. Burning also isn’t a concern because by the time you sear it you’ll have wiped it off but it will have flavored your food.
