Ingredients for 6
1 trader Joe Santa Maria tri-tip steak
2 tablespoons non salted butter
Directions
-
Step 1
Bring the water up to temperature of 54 degrees. Hint: If you're using a metal pot like I do you can really cut the time down by using both the sous vide immersion unit AND the heating element to quickly get to 54/129.2 degrees C/F. Don't forget to turn the flame or coil off on the stove when it gets to 53 or so.
-
Step 2
Add steak to your sous vide bag of choice, remove air and seal. Let it cook for 2 hours.
-
Step 3
Remove from heat and reserve all the juices from cooking bag, for me it's a gallon zip lock.
-
Step 4
Pat dry the meat with either clean kitchen towels or paper towels. This helps it not spatter as much when you seat it in the next step.
-
Step 5
Turn a pan, large enough to handle the entire steak, on high heat. Sear it got about 30 seconds in 2 tablespoons of butter and flip adding a littler more butter at the turn.
-
Step 6
Remove meat from pan and allow to rest for 5-10 minutes.
-
Step 7
Slice against the grain (perpendicular to the long direction of the cut) in 1/4 inch slices.
-
Step 8
Use the juices reserved in the unbagging step to a small sauce pan. Add a couple tablespoons of butter and melt. If there is extra juice from the slicing add this as well. Simmer for a few minutes and pour the juice over your steak at plating time.
