Seeing those pics reminds me of another step - topping each serving with herb butter. I fold fresh chopped thyme, rosemary and garlic into a couple sticks of butter then keep it in the freezer.

I don’t get the sous vide hype. I tried a steak cooked like that and was severely underwhelmed. Had almost no flavor.

I’m with you on the sous vide, way over rated.

I have cooked them several different ways, but this reverse sear is my favorite method:
Start with a whole tenderloin (if entertaining several folks) and trim all fat/silver skin. In this case, it was a Choice cut. Next, season with whatever your favorite rub may be. I tend to go back and forth between Killer Hogs and Meat Church. To add a bit more fat and flavor, I then wrap in thick cut bacon. After, it is ready to go on the smoker at 225degF until internal temp is at 110degF in the thickest end. I take the tenderloin off of the smoker and remove the bacon, then immediately place on a grill as hot as it can get. In my case, a Weber running at around 600degF. I let it sit for about 1 minute, then flip to let it sit another minute on the other side. At this point it is time to remove and rest for about 10-15 mins, however long you can stand. Cut into whatever thickness you want and serve.
