Temp suggestions - hot tub tri tip

Dondgc

I have a tri tip bathing at 131.  The plan is to keep it there for four hours.  My temp rig is not sous vide quality but accurate to a couple of tenths.  Is 131 degrees/four hours a good (and safe) time and temp?

Will throw it on the egg to sear later.

I did this with a flat iron steak and it was the best I ever cooked. Should work the same on a tri tip.
 Might be too late for you today, but try it

Yes, 131/4 is safe

Yep, should be totally fine.  I did a Tri-Tip Sous Vide for 4 hrs at 128 last week and then seared for 90 seconds / side.  Came out like this..

@Jcacavias - what was your searing setup? That looks beautiful for 90 seconds per side...

Came out great.  Thanks all for the input.
