Ingredients

  • 1 2-pound tri tip roast
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme

Equipment

  • sous vide immersion circulator
  • cast iron skillet
  • vacuum-seal bag

Method

  1. Preheat your sous vide water bath to 130°F for medium-rare or 140°F for medium, using an immersion circulator.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, rosemary, thyme, and minced garlic to create a dry rub.
  3. Pat the tri tip roast dry with paper towels, then rub it evenly with the olive oil. Sprinkle the dry rub all over the meat, pressing gently to adhere.
  4. Place the seasoned tri tip in a vacuum-seal bag or a heavy-duty zip-top bag. If using a zip-top bag, remove as much air as possible using the water displacement method. Submerge the bag in the preheated water bath and cook for 6 hours for tender results or 3 hours for a firmer texture.
  5. Remove the bag from the water bath and transfer the tri tip to a cutting board. Pat it dry with paper towels. Heat a cast-iron skillet or grill over high heat until smoking. Sear the tri tip for 1–2 minutes per side until a dark brown crust forms.
  6. Let the meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing against the grain into thin strips.
