I picked up what has the shape a Tri-Tip but they calling it a Chuck Tender. What ever it is I want to sous vide. Anyone recommendations on seasoning and time at temp? I thinking a dry brine but not sure what seasoning to use? I see where LoydB LoydB used Hardcore Carnivore but I open to suggesting's. I think I have just about everything. I like steaks mid rare. Also will take suggestions on searing.

Also picked up some sirloin to do something with.

Meat Church Holy Cow rub. I have been SV steaks at 140 and really like the doneness. Time, 4-6, I probably wouldnt go long than 6. 137-138 if you want more rareness.

For the sear, crank up the gasser to 500 and 30 sec to a min per side. I also like the butane torch.
 
Seasoned up and sealed. Here are those others. Do something with them. Maybe stir fry? Chamber sealer pump was kind of noisy while sealing these. Maybe time to check oil.

I SET MY SOUS VIDE TO 131º FOR TRITIP ROAST, GO 6-7 HOURS TO MAKE IT A LITTLE MORE TENDER, SEAR IN RED HOT 700º CI SKILLET, WEED TORCH WORKS WELL TOO. I SEASON MOST OFTEN WITH JUST KOSHER SALT AND CBP, SOMETIMES A LITTLE GARLIC POWDER, NOT ALWAYS. BEST THING ABOUT SOUS VIDE IS SAME DONENESS THOUGHOUT, WORKS GREAT ON LEFTOVERS. RAY

That chuck tender is a decent cut of meat if you cook long and slow. Personally I’d go 131-140 for around 24 hours in SV. This is a piece of meat that really shines with SV as does the lower chuck roast but I take those 30 hours plus.
