re: Gonna try a reverse sear tonight. Make sure I dont F it up.

I don't consider letting a steak sit out to be difficult AF, nor does it add really any extra effort. You have to take it out at some point.

I let it sit out before the oven because I can take it out early and leave it alone, and when it's time for the oven, it takes less time to get it up to temp.

I let it rest after the oven because I want it to stop cooking before I sear it so it doesn't overcook. It works out well that I take it out the oven and let the searing heating element come to temp. Again, not really any extra effort to literally do nothing while the steak sits out.
