Tri Tip Sous Vide

[Dwain Pannell]

I haven’t posted a cook in quite a while. I decided to hot tub a Tri Tip at 135*F for 5 hrs then sear it off/ get some smoke on it on the kettle via a mesquite/charcoal fire. Used Cajun Shake in the bath then hit it with Montreal Steak Seasoning for the sear/smoke. Served simply with horseradish, beans, and Stout. Cheers!

Looks like you nailed it, Dwain! I haven't done a SV TT in quite a while. Time to fix that...

That looks excellent, Dwain! I love to do TT's this way, especially on a weeknight. I can drop it in the bath when I take a break for lunch, then it just needs some grill marks whenever we're ready for dinner. No fuss, minimal muss, and oh so good!

I assume that's your stout? I do miss my Vanilla Oatmeal Stout that I used to make......it was an Imperial, though, so making 5 gallons disappear always took a while!

Great looking sear on your tri tip Dwain. Good seeing you around again!

Tri-tip is one of the favorite things I have learned about here on this site, and I love this cut. It is really hard to find around me so when I find a random single tri-tip sitting there in the meat section, I grab it up and cooking it feels extra special. I spent some time today looking at different options on how to cook the one I just scored this past week. Your's looks perfect, I love that sear and I really like the level of doneness.

Thx folks.

@ Rich: yes I brewed the Stout. This one is based on Left Hand’s recipe. I added cacao nibs for a deep dark chocolate vibe. This keg will disappear fast.

@ Cliff: I’ve been lurking and might throw a quick comment in the ring. Still cooking just not documenting them much.

Love it! We FINALLY got good tri-tip in Central Arkansas thanks to Costco, and I have been having fun with it. Doing one on Saturday for a Christmas party. I'll probably do 135F for 6 hours, then a quick sear on the grill. Did one for Thanksgiving with the in-laws, and they loved it.

Tasty way to cook a TT!

Didn't realize there were some fellow homebrewers here. Been brewing for almost 15 years now.

Looks great!

Gonna have to try the Sous Vide function on the Instant Pot & see how well it does.

Started in '92 and gave it up about four years ago. Still trying to rid myself of all the gear I collected!

Know the feeling.
I downsized from a 3-vessel propane fired system to an all in one about 3 years ago. Got the old system, an extra kettle, MLT and various fermenters and misc. gear. Need to get it all cleaned up and see if I can find a buyer.

Filbert,
My (and my daughter's) love of this cut has only increased since my post. I have been able to find them locally more regularly, but my family also got me a prime one from Wild Forks for Father's day. It was really good. Promised my daughter I will look for another Tri Tip tomorrow.

Grilling part of my father's day gift.

I got my father's day gift early this week. My wife and kids got me meat from wild fork foods. They got me a prime Tri Tip, a prime Picanha, and some choice Flacken Style Beef Short Ribs. So for the actual day that the gift was give for I had to go for the Tri Tip (this is the first prime Tri...

Here is the only one I have got locally that was close to the quality of Wild Forks.

First run with the slow n sear

After getting the slow n sear deluxe last week I couldn't think of a better way to try it out then on this beautiful Tri Tip done with a reverse sear. I wasn't sure how I to do both (low and) slow and sear so this is what I went with. With two starter squares and hot water I started the slow...
