Hey Tony, approximately how many minutes in the 550 degree oven do you reverse sear for? I have a 3.25 lb brisket flat I'm doing today. I've tenderquicked it for ~45 mins. I'll rinse it off, season a little bit with salt/pepper and throw in the smoker at 200 for 2-3 hours. Then I'll pull from smoker, bag it in vacuum sealed chamber, and put into the sous vide pot at 155 for 24-30 hours. After this I'll try the reverse sear per your suggestion.

Maybe too late, T - sorry!  A reverse-sear, in a 550° oven, shouldn't take more than 7-8 minutes.  You have to watch it, and pull it when it looks right.  I put the meat on a rack, in a baking pan (so the heat gets all the way around), and it works great.

Did the reverse sear tonight after a reheat in the sous vide cooker for a few hours. Man, this brisket was awesome! Smoked a few hours first, then did 155 sous vide for ~30 hours. Didn't have time to reverse sear then so I did another sous vide reheat for 4 hours before reverse sear. It tasted phenomenal and I froze most of it for future consumption.
