My Raiders tailgate is going to incorporate Sous Vide.
I always try to do a tri-tip for the Oakland game and it usually requires smoking ahead of time. So this time I'm going to try some combination of these:

I'm going to skip the rub from the sous vide recipe and just put in a little of the prague powder and liquid smoke to give it a little of the smoke flavor and the ring. I'll cook that for 48 hours at 130 then take it to the game. I'll pat it down with the santa maria rub and then blast it over oak charcoal before the game to get a crust and some flavor/warmth to the outside.
I'm cautiously optimistic; I can't figure out why it wouldn't work.
