Sous vide

On Sunday I was making marinated tri-tip the same way I always do (buying the pre-marinated "steakhouse blend" from costco and putting it straight into the SV as-is in the packaging it came in for 6 hours), but half way through the cook time our plans changed and we needed to have dinner right away. I figured it would be a good learning experience and took the steak out of the water bath at 3 hours, and put it under the broiler for a couple minutes longer per side than normal, I think about 9 minutes on the first side then 5 on the back

It ended up being cooked to the right temperature, but the texture is noticeably less tender. It still tasted good, but overall was nowhere near as good as the fork-cut tenderness I've grown to expect from tri-tip
