this is one of those preps that cant be beat! pull, drop, go, and eat in a day. Love it!
 
Same here but do halves and inject. Last one I used French Onion soup. Wonder if GFS prices for EOR here have stablized. $3lb all the time in the day.
 
added a pic :) this is the second block - first one is long gone
 
Oooh man that looks killer. I am gonna try running lower now. Wife likes "well done" so I run 135F but that just looks perfect. I have not seared any yet, you guys? Is there a flavor pickup or mainly presentation?

I havent yet, I want to, but havent had the time.

I do want to try 130 for 24 hours then chill to 38, then smoke back up and maybe sear. I have a tri tip seasoned and vacuumed up at the ready...looking for the window of opportunity fire that SV

and thank you! these are very quickly becoming a fav of mine. so much bang for the buck and nice and easy. hits all the points I like at half the price of store roast beef.

I run at 132 . I seared the last one I did . Helps with the looks for sure . I think the smell of beef in a hot cast iron skillet adds to it .

Sam , you should try the soup / broth trick I use . Works real good for sandwiches .
Run at the temp you like medium rare . Then have the pot of broth or what ever just warm on the stove . Don't boil . Add her slices to the pot to further cook and take the color to where she likes it .
This was beef knuckle cooked rare then finished with beefy onion soup . I just poured the hot soup on the cold meat .

Plan to do exactly the same here: SV and chill then try sear (HF torch) and smoking. I'd also like to try a sear pre SV. And I am not kidding I am gonna hit it HARD on the sear. Excited, GFS is showing EOR for $3/lb. I will try and post my results when I get to them.

EOR is a favorite here too and in fact these are 90% of the reason I got into SV. Rich's chopsaw chopsaw canadian marindaded pork loin is like the other 10% :emoji_laughing: and in fact going to grill one (made into chops) tonight. Like DUH. Forgot about the broth trick! Thanks for reminding me.

That beefy onion soup pkg is a great idea to vac seal with the meat during the cook. Sugar and Spice brand spices that come in like 2oz pkgs that you refill spice bottles with has a dehydrated chopped vegetable pkg I add half the pkg to the packet of onion soup. It's like the dried soup starter without seasoning. The 24+ hour cooks rehydrates it and there the size and tenderness of the dehydrated onion in the soup packet. It can be left in or strained for a vegetable beef broth. Kroger used to have this but got away from the pkg spices but I think I saw pkg spices at Hyvee. I'm out and need to find some.

I've been doing the dried soup packs vac'd up , and even a packet of dried ranch and salad peppers for a Mississippi type of roast .
That's a great idea with the dehydrated veg . I have a package for gumbo . No seasoning . I'll have to do a Cajun style .
