Cooking Instructions for Sous Vide Dry Rubbed Tri-Tip

For the Spice Rub

Combine all of the spice rub ingredients in small bowl and mix well.

For the Sous Vide Tri-Tip

Set Anova Sous Vide Precision Cooker to 132°F (55.6°C)

Rub tri-tip very generously with spice rub mixture on all sides. Vacuum seal or use the water displacement method (with Ziplocs) to bag the tri-tip.

Place in water bath and sous vide for 6-8 hours (up to 24 without consequence).

To Finish

Remove the cooked tri-tip from bag and dry extremely well.

Spread a very, very thin layer of mayo onto the tri-tip (I like to use a silicone pastry brush for this).

Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until VERY hot. Add avocado oil and then the tri-tip. Sear for about 30 seconds on each side until well browned.

Remove from pan, slice and finish with smoked Maldon salt.
