The flavor on this is incredible, and I’m very happy with it. I did a simple spice rub of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning, sous vide @131F for 6 hours, and seared 1.5 minutes per side in cast iron.

    I followed the conventional wisdom of 131F for 6 hours on Tri Tip and I do not regret it.

    Do any of you think there’s any better time and temp combination?

    Scoring is unnecessary with tritip. Otherwise looks great.

    The only answer to “did I do good” is “did you like it”?

    No matter what anyone thinks, if you like it, then you did good.

    But by all conventional metrics it looks like you did good.

  5. 6 hours is my SV time too ✔️. Same with sirloin and sirloin flap.

    I usually let is crust up on the grill but I might do a pan sear this time because that looks great.

    No idea since I just recently got one, and joined the subreddit.

    Having said that, the first time I try a tri-tip I’ll be using exactly what you posted above, because that looks INCREDIBLE!

    Tri Tip is especially effective with Sous Vide. Smoking as steak or brisket is much harder to get right albeit the smoke flavor is always welcome.

  9. I do for about 18 hours, but I like it fork tender and don’t trim because I like beef fat. But that is me, this is you. Looks delicious and of I was offered up a slice, I would eat it up!

    This is the food of my people and I feel like you did too much. Looks good, I’ll give you that.

    Better than good, I’d say you did great!
