Probably looking at 133 or so. Should I season before vacuum sealing or season after bathing the meat ? I'm definitely going to reverse sear but would like to get tips on when to season.

How many hours should it go? I'm thinking minimum 6, but I was planning on going at least 12.

TIA on tips.

Just found out a college friend lost a lengthy battle with cancer so I'm dedicating this meal to my homie. Not sure why I added that tidbit but I'm a little buzzed and also I'm a little sad.

My advice would to be slow cook a bottom round in a dutch oven or crock pot w veggies potatoes etc, then make a gravy over rice

IMO not even a sous vide bath can save a bottom round. Still lacks flavor and will be chewy. If you must, I would season before you sous vide it. I wouldnt go 12 hours, I think 6-8 would break up that connective tissue enough without breaking down the actual meat

Yeah it's a cheap cut. I guess that's why most of the recipes I saw online call for 24, 36 or even a 72 hour cook. We like doing a rump roast in the Dutch oven.

I'm going to experiment with the sous vide on this one. I'm thinking about throwing it on in a little while and going 36 hours and see what happens. Then a reverse sear in the cast iron.
