Sous vide makes it a no brainer.

Simply seasoned with freshly crushed black pepper, mustard seed, powdered garlic and salt.

    My favorite cut. What was your process? What did you do for the sear? From the sous-vide I like to sear on a hot cast iron or a hot grill.

      My man! I’ve been also digging tri tip a lot recently.

      For NY Strip, I go around 129 for a couple hours in the bath; season with salt, generous powdered garlic, freshly crushed black pepper corns and mustard seed in a mortar and pestle (I got a baby one I use for spices). Only thing to mind is how much mustard to add, aim for just a small hint of funky flavor - I shoot for maybe a quarter tsp per lb of meat.

      Let it sit on some paper towels after the bath for at least a half hour to let the internal temp come down and to dry the outside. Whack it on a ripping hot cast iron skillet with butter, herbs, yadda just until we get it crunchy. I might also sear it on the grill if the weather is nice!

      My favorite pan sauce is a bordelaise. The whole process is incredibly simple and is always a hit!
