The uniformity is excellent, except next to the bone, which is to be expected.
Gorgeous.

One thing, if it is helpful, I would have used more fat and a lower heat to sear for the finish.
As I say, just to be helpful, I would just love to be shoulder to shoulder with you at the table.
Titch gave me a sous vide thing to play with and I still havent got that happening, dammit.
I owe the guy too.

Oh, for our American cousins viewing, our Australian "T-Bone" may be called "Porterhouse" over there, if I have that right?

I was trying to get grill lines on the meat. However my friends BBQ was struggling. I got an instant flare up and needed to keep moving around - the flat plate which wasn't what I wanted to use finished up the saviour. The crust on the tri tip was good but I have liked more on the T-Bones. Bl&$%#y great meat though.
