Step 4: Making the Sauce Using the 1 tbls of Olive Oil, coat a pan or skillet at medium heat

Add the Shallots, and sauté until translucent

Add the freshly ground Black Pepper to your sautéed Shallots and mix

Next add the 1 cup of Heavy Cream and mix

Let the sauce cook for a minute to thicken slightly

Add salt to taste

Step 5: Searing the Tri Tip Once the time is up, the AquaChef will beep

Carefully remove the basket from the AquaChef, as it will be hot

Remove the Tri Tip from the bag and dry lightly with a paper towel and place the Tri Tip in the pan and sear each side for about 1 minute

Place the Tri Tip on a plate, add the sauce as a topping, and serve.
