Sous Vide Tri Tip from Costco
A tri tip is seasoned with seasoned salt and pepper then cooked Sous Vide at 131F for three hours. The steak is then seared in brisket fat and sliced against the grain.
Ingredients
- 2 pound Costco Tri Tip Roast
- 2 tbls Morton Season All
- 2 tbls black pepper
- 2 tbls rendered brisket fat substitute peanut oil if needed
Instructions
- Season the tri tip liberally with the seasoned salt and black pepper.
- Place the meat into a Foodsaver bag and vacuum seal.
- Immerse the bag into a water bath maintained at 131F.
- Let the steak simmer for three hours.
- Remove the steak from the bag and pat dry with paper towels.
- Add the rendered brisket fat to a 12 inch cast iron skillet and heat until the fat just starts to smoke.
- Place the steak into the skillet and sear for two minutes per side.
- Slice the steak thinly across the grain and serve with your choice of sides.
Notes
The tri tip is a large piece of meat so I don't bother with marinades.
If you want to do a "Hot and Fast" cooking method such as grilling then make sure you take the meat to an internal temperature of 145F followed by a three minute rest.
