That looks EXCELLENT. I might have to re-think 138°, I've settled into 130° for beef. It's really funny, but I have particular rubs I use when cooking over live fire.... but by a process of elimination.... Montreal Steak is a wonderful seasoning for sous vide. I think the coarseness has something to do with it.
 
Damn bud that looks amazing. Love back strap and you nailed it!
Thank you Jake, will do again for sure.

Thank you, I stuck to my guns on the 138°. I kinda knew it was going to be a little red for the wife's liking. Montreal Steak gets used often around here.
Looks delicious! Did I read that right...9# chunk of backstrap?

I've not tried montreal steak seasoning in the sous vide, always just use salt and cracked black pepper.
It was a 1.9 (1# 9oz) strap. Glad I took your suggested 3/hrs instead of the 6hrs I was going to do. Thanks...
Give the Montreal a try, we sure like it.
WR, Looks delicious! like

Ah...well now that's better...1.9#. I thought there for a minute my eyes were playing tricks on me.
Yeah, 6 hours and it'll taste more like a roast longer you cook it. 3 hours is enough to get it tender for a back strap.
 
Looks delicious! Gonna have to give this a go. Looks perfectly done for us. Was surprised at how red it was for being at 138, but the proof is in the picture!

It was good for my liking but probably have to bump it up a few degrees for the spouse. Will do that with the other I have. Thanks for the like.
Good looking plate!
