I've been doing turkey tenderloins that come out so tender and juicy. I do a pan sear with butter, rosemary and garlic, coating the turkey with the butter mix as it sears.

Cooking gadgets
Weber Summit Charcoal Grill Center
Weber Summit Platinum D6
Blue Rhino Razor
Dyna-Glo XL Premium Dual Chamber
Camp Chef Somerset IV along with their Artisan Pizza Oven 90
Anova WiFi
Thermometers
Thermapen Mk4 - ThermaQ High Temp Kit - ThermaQ Meathead Kit - ThermaQ WiFi - ThermoWorks IR-GUN-S - ThermoWorks Signals & Billows - ThermoPop -ThermoWorks ProNeedle - ThermoWorks TimeStick Trio x2 - and a Christopher Kimball timer - NO, I do not work for ThermoWorks...I just like their products.
Other useful bits...
KitchenAid 7-qt Pro Line stand mixer
A Black & Decker food processor that I can't seem to murder
A couple of immersion blenders, one a "consumer" model & the other a "high end" Italian thing. Yes, the Italian one is a bit better, but only marginally
Instant Pot Duo Evo Plus 8-qt + accessories like egg-bite & egg holders
All-Clad pots & pans, along with some cast iron...everything from 7" Skookie pans to 8.5qt Dutch ovens
Weber GBS griddle, pizza stone, and wok
Knives range from Mercer to F. Dick to "You spent how much for one knife? One knife?!" LOL
For the first SV cook...steak, hands down. Because it's not only great, but stoopid simple.
Set the hot tub to your desired temp and let it roll. When it's time to come out...blast it in a HOT cast iron skillet, over a blazing fire, or hit it with a torch. The Bernzomatic BZ4500HS is my weapon of choice.
Which also happens to be the exact model that Sansaire sells as part of their $179 searing kit...but not as pretty.
Mods please fix the link. ;-)

Deep in the MCS zone.
Currently have
Gas: Weber Genesis 330

Smoker: PBC
Toys: DigiQ, Thermapen thermometer, Lodge Griddle/Grill
Looking to acquire: SNS, and one of everything else
Just a quick update...I wasn't expecting it to come in for another couple of weeks, but then I got a USPS tracker update saying it will be delivered tomorrow
. Since I didn't have a ton of time to go shopping and plan it, I'm going with a recent hit I have found thanks to Troutman . That's right, I'm cooking Godzilla...I mean picanha/coulette. Hope I can get it near your perfection. Will follow up with results soon. Thanks for all the suggestions. I'll be trying many more soon.

One tip for searing, and this is going to sound weird, but don't knock it until you've tried it - after you remove the meat from the hot tub and thoroughly dry it off, put a thin coat of mayonnaise on both sides and the sear it. Awesome crust and you don't taste the mayo at all.

What the heck is this world becoming COOKING YOUR MEAT IN A BAG in water. JEEZ no wonder we are having a world wide warming. An extra 2-3 hours of cooking our meat. For GS if you can't cook a decent piece of meat without SV get off this site. There are improvements in smoking that have moved us forward and made sense, but this ain't one of them. It is like me finding a way for people to eat raw chicken.
This is my opinion and as I get older I get more of them. At least the Weber kettle hasn't changed much.
Well God Bless and all have a happy 4th of July.

I'll admit that SV isn't really my thing, either. But guess what... I'm not on the SV channel bashing it. Your opinion is shared by many and has been expressed ad nauseum, so it's not some new idea that people need to let sink in.
BTW, your last two sentences don't make the tone of the whole preceding paragraph ok. Kind of like "with all due respect" before letting someone have it.Last edited by Steve R.; July 1, 2019, 07:59 AM.

Remember, we all have opinions, and we all have things we like & dislike. The beauty of our site is that we accept each others' favorite ways, experimentation, curiosities, etc, w/o knocking it if it doesn't fit our personal preferences. In fact, if a person "can't cook a decent piece of meat w/o SV" they should be hanging out on this site, they will learn many things! The beauty of a forum with so many topics is we can skip right over topics that do not interest us, and let those whom it does interest enjoy the conversation.Originally posted by mountainsmoker View PostWhat the heck is this world becoming COOKING YOUR MEAT IN A BAG in water.

Yep and what my last two sentences referred to. No one has to like my opinion. but they should read it and take it into there thoughts. The extra use of energy is not needed and doesn't needed to be to make great Q.

I can get a PERFECT medium rare beef steak 100% of the time with SV. I've never used any other cooking method that will provide that perfection at that success rate. And after cooking for over 50 years, I've tried a majority of the methods. SV is just another tool that has benefits. Use it; don't use it. No reason to bash it just because you decided it doesn't work for you. And that is MY opinion. No agreement necessary.

The extra use of energy is really a straw man. I can either SV a nice thick steak for an hour and then simply sear it for about 1 minute per side, or I can burn wood for 8 to 10 minutes Just to cook the steak. That doesn't include the heat up time, nor the time the wood continues to burn after the meat has been removed. Without doing the required math or science, neither one of us can state with authority which method is worse for the environment. I respect your opinion, don't agree with it, but I respect it. What I take exception to is this; "For GS if you can't cook a decent piece of meat without SV get off this site." That comment is uncalled for. If you search the main site for sous vide you get 50 some odd hits. Does that mean that Meathead and his staff should also "get off this site"?Originally posted by mountainsmoker View PostWhat the heck is this world becoming COOKING YOUR MEAT IN A BAG in water.

pkadare Thanks! Great suggestion! Tried it last night. Sous vide, thoroughly dried, thin coat of mayo, and 30 seconds on the cast iron.Originally posted by pkadare View PostOne tip for searing, and this is going to sound weird, but don't knock it until you've tried it - after you remove the meat from the hot tub and thoroughly dry it off, put a thin coat of mayonnaise on both sides and the sear it.

mountainsmoker Good points. Bless my Weber Kettle. Yes, we are primarily about barbecue. And Grilling. And cooking. Of all sorts. About food. And the love of cooking and feeding friends and family. So we are not strictly barbecue. We have sorta squishy walls. And since sous vide meld perfectly with the smoker and grill, why not? If that doesn't sit well with you, well then maybe this is not a good place for you. But before you bail, with an open mind and an open heart, read what I have written in my attempt to wrassle to the ground the daffynition of barbecue here https://amazingribs.com/barbecue-his.../what-barbecue
