Sous vide tri tip

This weekend I got to try out my new sous vide rig. It's a Coleman cooler with a hole that I cut in the lid using a utility knife.


Into the hole went my new Anova sous vide circulator.

I put in tri tip roasts for 24 hours at 131 degrees F. Tri tip roasts are my family's favorite cut from Costco. 

Here's one after it spent a little time on the grill to brown. I used a rub but it didn't really come out. Maybe it got washed off during the sous vide process. I think maybe next time rub after sous vide.

The roast cut up was tender, marbly goodness, with a nice beefy taste. It was enough for 7 of us for our post Super Bowl dinner.

Tonight was butter chicken again. The recipe called for saving half the sauce for something else. Last time I left it in the fridge and never used it. This time I poured a can of corn into the leftover sauce. My wife and kids enjoyed this option. Other options apparently are tofu, vegetables, paneer. I like the idea of making something different with the same sauce.

Ground beef coconut curry and spinach, from the Indian Instant Pot cookbook . It came out delicious--rich, spicy, full of veggies. I tried to sell it to the family like an Indian beef luau. My son and wife enjoyed it, but my daughter (who loves beef luau) did not buy this comparison. She ate leftover beef luau from last weekend.
