After 225 for 30 minutes.



After sear in cast iron for one minute each side - white hot.




It was medium.

Lessons learned:

1. Use the damn meat thermometer.

2. Less oven. More sear.

3. See # 1


Steaks were good. I just like them really rare. So does mrs house.

I'll try this again.

That looks too thin to do a reverse sear . It needs to be at least an inch and a half imo. Oven at 225 until internal temp reaches 125. Rest 10 minutes. Sear 1 minute on each side on red hot grill. Perfect med rare every time.

Looks good to me but I know you like it rare. Regular Sear might have been the way to go.

Honestly, if you like rare, there's no need for oven at all.

But, yes, if you're using the reverse sear method, a meat thermometer is very handy and useful.

Yep. I should have taken pics before I put them in the oven. The steaks were nice. I've seen a lot on here about cooking steaks like that and wanted to try it.

I'll try it again.

Yes.

I just wanted to try this thing everyone has been talking about.

Going to microwave it from now on and dip it in wish bone Italian dressing before I eat it.

Yep. I usually get a big arse 2 inch steak and feed to whole family with it. Individual regular sized steaks just need to be tossed on the grill.

If u like rare, why didnt u rest to room temp and sear it? A reverse sear is for cooking a thick steak to temp across the cut & still having an outside crust.

Agreed. For a rare thin steak, you can omit the reverse part.
