The In-laws and my Parents are both coming over Sunday for Lunch to meet their new granddaughter. Want to prepare something "family"-ish.

Tri-tip
Boneless leg of lamb
Chuck roast
Rump roast

Not really sure what to make that's easy.

On the menu, basics.

Veggies- Cream spinach/spinach casserole and/or braised cabbage

Starch-Roast potatoes, polenta, lotus root, and/or stuffing

Dessert- Sweet potato or Purple Yam cheesecake

But it depends on the meat. There's a special on tritip at the butcher, but sous vide recipes are only like 7-8 hours. I want something longer, so I'm not put stuff on a 4am for a noon lunch.

Any suggestions? want to showcase sous vide

Do the tri tip. You can complete the sous vide cook the day before, quick chill it in an ice bath and put it into the refrigerator. Put it back into the sv an hour before you are ready to serve to bring it back to temp. Sear on the grill or cast iron. Serve.

Go with the tri tip. Like the above advice said, sous vide the day before and throw it in the fridge overnight. But, I would differ on throwing in the SV for an hour to heat up. I like to sear with the meat cold so I can get a better/harder sear without having to worry about overcooking the meat

SV Chuck Roast

Chuck Roast will have the most recipes, most widely available cut, and give you steak type product.

Pork Roast or loin would be another option to consider.

I love lamb roast and have smoked one. Never tried to sous vide though.

I haven't been impressed with chuck roast sous vide. Too much gristle and fat that doesn't break down.

My vote would be the tri-tip. And make gravy from the jus.

This. It is the best result I have ever had with my sous vide machine. I cook the one from Sam's in the original package. It's pre-seasoned.

Well the cooking method has been around for decades.

Only recently did companies come out with sous vide tools for home use

so you might as well get used to it.

It's two words, but can you explain this position?

Well, I have been cooking with sous vide for at least 7 years and never have had a problem with overcooking the meat while searing.

Just dry the meat well with paper towels and use a searing burner on a gas grill or smoking hot cast iron pot.

If you want a great sear on a steak, nothing is better than the reverse sear method.
