Reverse sear method of cooking a steak

[BuckFuller]

I ran across this video on how to "cook the best steak" and I HAD to give it a try. I normally only grill my steaks over open fire/coals and I typically just cook rib eyes. To put this recipe to the test I got a tighter and dryer cut. a NY Strip. I cooked the steaks just as he instructs in the video and I have to say that it was probably the best non-grilled steak I have eaten. It was considerably more tender than cooking fast on the grill and had more juice than any NY Strip I've ever had. I will be doing this again when grilling is not an option.

i've used this method, but it does require a thick steak to be of any benefit. As is discussed in the video, many restaurants sear then finish in the oven.

I've found that getting a cast iron skillet as hot as possible, using some butter and then searing on all sides for a couple of minutes really lends itself to a great steak. The oven helps for thick stuff, but now i'll just sear a bit longer and enjoy the rare center.

The more I eat steak and cook it myself, the rarer I like it....
And as much as I love a grilled steak, cast iron is so much easier I hardly ever use my grill.....

I'm thinking a good variation on this would be to put it in the smoker to bring it up to temp instead of the oven, giving it a little bit of smoky flavor first.

Yah, I thought about starting in the oven and then putting a good sear on it over a hot grill for some smoke flavor.

This is how I cook my steaks now. I add some kosher salt and cracked black pepper before torching.

This whole thread is blasphemy to steaks across the world!






















I'll still probably try it though.

Sous Vide is definitely the best. Do you have a sous vide supreme or did you make a home made one? I got lucky....won my Sous Vide Supreme on the internet. Still need a vaccum sealer, but for now zip lock bags work great.
