Tri-Tip via the Sous Vide method. Tender, juicy, and succulent!
The process includes trimming, cold-smoking, seasoning, sous vide, and searing to put on a bark with a flamethrower!! The result... Fantastic! Products I use listed below.

SOUS VIDE CIRCULATORS
ANOVA 900W Circulator (Newer model available but still a rockstar. This is the model used in this video and is still available from Amazon resellers): https://amzn.to/2sc5DD5
ANOVA 1000W Circulator (New model upgrade): https://amzn.to/2OdEXuh
ANOVA New PRO 1200W model w/Wi-Fi (Expensive but a tank!): https://amzn.to/2D8PksK
NOTE: I have tried, tested and reviewed a number of Sous Vide Circulators from a variety of companies. They generally work for the most part, but Anova clearly rides high above all other circulators I have reviewed. Other models have a plethora of issues like noise, power, pot-attaching mechanisms, and cheap parts and pale in comparison to Anova's excellent products. Anova Circulators are the trusted tools I use and trust in my kitchen and I own and use all three models listed above. Their Customer Service is exceptionally good as well.
