Sous Vide Tri-Tip

I bought a sous vide last week and a vacuum sealer two days later, primarily for a fried chicken recipe I've seen several times and perhaps there was bourbon involved.I made the chicken five times, got it down. (I have $180 into a fried chicken recipe my grand mother it for me twice a week for sixteen years with Crisco and a Griswold, but I am, of course, bougie AF) Time to move on. Three pound try-tip.It didn't look real good after three hours in the hot water, I was a little worried.
I put some 2 Gringo's Chupacabra on it, I don't know it it helped as I threw it directly into the coals to sear, but I felt better about it.This was amazing. Thank you for looking.

    How did it compare just doing it entirely on the egg?

    I've reverse seared a dozen or so. There was a lack of smoke on this one, but the final product was superior. I didn't season it prior to the sous vide (I will next time) as I put it in in the criovac it came in. The result was amazing in tender and juiciness. The beef flavor was fantastic.

    Next time, I will coat in mustard and rub (like a butt) vac seal it and, again, sous vide at 125 for three hours then sear it as hot as i can.
