re: Anyone Sous Vide a Tri Tip? (Pics included)

Looks really good, and I have no problem with this way of cooking at all and I want to try sous vide method, but this would not be an acceptable way where I grew up in California the Tri Tip capital in Santa Maria.

All open flame with red oak.

We would also make Santa Maria style pinquito beans, with a salad and garlic toast. You could get that meal on several different corners there every weekend.

One place called the Hitching Post made some of the best Tri Tip sandwiches with an awesome toasted roll and a tomato salsa that combined with a medium rare slice of Tri tip was out of this world.

They no longer are in business. I was younger and not into cooking like I am today and so wish I knew that recipe for the salsa they made. I have tried to duplicate it and have not been successful yet.

Several good restaurants from Santa Barbara to Pismo Beach that serve it in the traditional way.

Yours is a little too rare, but the cook and presentation looks great.

Phils BBQ in San Diego makes a really good TT sammy.
