Reverse sear internal temperature?
Posted on 5/11/17 at 8:51 pm
Posted on 5/11/17 at 8:51 pm
Cooking some 1.5" ribeyes. Was wondering what is the correct temp to take them out of oven for medium rare and medium?
I have tried it before at 115, 120, 125, 128 with digital thermometer ..all came out great but seems inconsistent with the final internal temp once you sear it (which is less predictable)
Any sure advice to get it consistent each time? Tia

I do mine on a gas grill. Temp at 250 and I take out just below 125 but I have a constant read probe thermometer. Let rest for 10 minutes, bring grill up to 500 then sear for about a minute on each side on a cast iron skillet. They finish at 135.

Sous vide, or consistent sear... Are you varying sear times? Sear temps?
When I reverse sear, I'll take to 118 internal temp, pull from oven, would rise to 121-123 after 5-10 mins; sear for a minute each side on either pit or cast iron and would be a consistent med rare.
Inconsistencies in internal temp vs doneness come from thermometer placement, probe accuracy and meat thickness.
What is your oven temp?

My first time on my Primo last week I pulled at 110. Rested for 15ish mins. Got grill to screaming hot (600-700) then seated for a min each side. With my current grates I don't get good "meat on metal" sear, so I was letting the charcoal do the searing. Moved and turned it a lot (not flip). Came out great. Perfect med rare IMO. The trick, IMO is knowing the grill. Knowing the thickness. Etc. I know not a straight answer, but my first go worked great.
Finished product. Wanted more crust (grate issue) but smoke anc char was great.

118-120.
Pro tip- put a cast iron skillet in there while slow cooking then get it screaming hot and sear the steak in there. It forms a must better crust.

That's a weak sear for 600-700 degree primo
What's the deal w the grates?

Make sure to dry off the meat before the sear if you want a good char

Exactly. I put my skillet on my crawfish burner and get it screaming hot. If OP is having trouble with inconsistent internal doneness levels, he's probably not searing hot/fast enough.

I tend to agree. Was my first go on the Primo. I found it more difficult to get a crust without having meat-to-iron contact. Basically relying on the heat from the coals to sear the meat. It'll do it, but I admit to needing more practice.
The stock grates on the Primo are porcelain coated, as opposed to cast iron.

A little bit of this helps too.

I usually put a pat of butter on the steak or baste the steak with butter during the sear. It flares up and creates an awesome char/sear.

Yep. 1.5", I would pull at a lower temp, because the final sear will get it cooking a little more. So 110 is good for a 1.5", IMO, but a 2.5" should be pulled at a little hire temp, around 120 degrees, as it won't cook as much after you pull it.
