OT - Sous Vide eye of the round

All tips or advice very much appreciated. Plan is to do a 30hr sous vide around 135 with olive oil garlic and rosemary in the bath, then salt pepper and sear.

Do I need to pre-sear the roast to kill bacteria?

    You do not need to pre sear. The meat will pasteurize.

    Go for it. 26-30 hours seems to be a common range for that cut in the SV.

    Raw garlic may taste 'funny', I would use garlic powder.

    Have a small one in the Trés Booblay right now, 22 hours at 135º. I pre-sear for flavour, find it makes a difference. Sear before serving as well to crust it up a bit. As noted above by @Canugghead don't use fresh garlic.

    Is it eye of the round that you're doing?

    Never had it sliced thick before. Always had it about 1/4" or so.
