I put a little anchovy paste on one side - maybe 1/4-1/2 a teaspoon. The anchovy paste adds umami and depth to the meat. Then I add a bit of ground ancho chili pepper, fresh ground pepper and some salt. Let it rest for about 30-60 minutes. I add a few drops of mesquite liquid smoke to the bag. Sous vide for 1-2 hours at 130 degrees. I sear mine in a red hot cast iron pan for about 60-75 seconds a side.

I make a bernaise sauce in which I add some of the juices from the bag. For an easy bearnaise (and hollandaise recipe), see Kenji Lopez-Alt’s book The Food Lab. Actually, just get that book and read his column in general.

I find I like hanger steak better than tri tip or even bone in ribeyes. Right now it’s my favorite cut of beef. My local butcher gets local grass fed beef with no hormones or antibiotics. That makes a difference. Full bodied red wine, sautéed spinach and a baguette and life is good.

Keep on cooking.
Sounds awesome.
