Sous vide Baby Q Tri tip

[CaseT]

Marinated a Tri tip for 24 hours then into the Sous vide all day. Finished it with a quick sear on the BabyQ.

I made a gravy from the bag drippings and used the pepperoncini like a chimmichurry.

The night before I made fried rice so I served the steak on top of some of the left over fried rice and gravy

Looking top shelf as usual CaseT
I have a sous vide but do not use it in many applications.
I have so many questions......a couple include.....
Why did you sous vide it for 24 hours?......Did it help with making it more tender?....Would the fat have been too tough if you only did it for 2 hours?
How was the texture on the beef? I find any sous vide gives me a " different " texture than I was anticipating.
I ask because of my limited sous vide experience......I got turned off with steak early and did not get to invested in it......and I was planning on trying it with 1 of my remaining iberico pieces at 2.5 pounds..... I would hate to make a mistake on that piece is my main concern.
Thanks ahead of time.
