Funny thing is that thick steaks are harder to cook using traditional methods.

I think that would work, Yeezy. Pull it at 105 and let it rest. Then sear it. As you can see from my pic, the 60 seconds on each side didn't affect the temperature of the center, which is evenly cooked from edge to edge.

Get a 2" thick steak and cook it at 275 for about 45 minutes. That oughta get it rare enough for ya.

I wouldn't cut the sear time. That contrast between the crunch crust, the charred fat, and the buttery center is killer.

That last part made me drool a little. Felt like Ole Geauxt

Looks good.


Question. What time are you starting this? 3 hours is a long time for a weekday meal

Jax- what was the internal temp after searing (if checked)? TIA.

Looks great. I'm going to try it...

I didn't check. Internal temp was 125 when I pulled it initially. Letting it rest for 15 minutes probably allowed the temp to go up 5-10 degrees and then drop down a bit. If I hadda guess, I'd say about 135 when I pulled it from the sear.

Timewise, it's a long time, but most of the time is spent getting it to room temp. Then the initial cooking is also easy, because there is no flipping or adjusting to be done. The sear at the end is really quick. You really spend very little effort during the whole process.

Couple quick questions as I'm very curious and pretty naive about this stuff. I'm currently living in an apartment for the rest of the month that doesn't allow grills, and it's killing me.

I obviously don't have a special grill to get my sear up to 500. All I have is my electric (I know) stovetop. This of course won't be ideal for the sear, but it will still work right? If anyone has suggestions on substitutions just let me know.

That picture has my grill-less mouth watering!

Get a cast iron skillet, and stick it the oven on 500 for 15-20 minutes. This will get the pan really hot. Then sear it on top your stove for 1-2min each side and then I pop it in the oven for a handful of minutes.

That's what I do, even when I have access to a grill

And this thread is about the exact opposite of that.

I thought with the reverse sear getting it to room temp before going in wasn't necessary.

I didn't bring mine up to room temp and it worked fine.
