Anyone ever try the reverse sear method for steak? Tried it with some filets and they came out great. Basically instead of searing and then finishing at a lower temp you reverse that process. All you try to do at first is bring the steak up to about 90 deg internal and then finish by searing each side at high temp.

Mine came out with a better sear and no grey tranision to the middle pink section. Just a nice sear and then solid pink through the steak. Reminded me of a steak i had prepared Sous-Vide.

Great method. Works very well with a steak with a lot of fat, like a ribeye. The lower heat lets that fat melt, rather than seize up. Then the sear brings the crust.

I will have to try with a ribeye next. It also seems like you have a larger margin for error. Pretty much impossible to over cook the steak.

Really considering getting a sous vide machine for home. Steaks just come out perfectly.

I've seen this done when smoking certain cuts Brisket, Boston Butt). Meat is in the smoker until just shy of desired temp. Then thrown on a hot flame just long enough to sear. Supposed to make more of the 'burnt ends' that people love.

Cook steak to medium rare. Then keep cooking it well past medium to well done to get that perfect char. Apply squeeze ketchup liberally to top of steak. Bon appetit
