Ingredients
  

  • 2 lb tri-tip steak
  • 2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Trim any excessive fat and/or silver skin from your tri tip. Season with garlic, salt, and pepper (or other seasonings of choice).
  • Place beef in a zip top or vacuum bag and remove air so the meat sinks in water in the bag. Place in your sous vide container with enough water to fully cover the meat, and set your sous vide device to 132 F.
  • Cook for at least 2 hours. When ready to sear, remove bag from sous vide container and steak from bag. Pat dry and sear for 2 minutes on each side, using either an oiled hot cast iron skillet or a grill.
  • Cover and allow to rest for 10 minutes, then slice against the grain and serve.
