An hour at 200 should get you to 120ish, but yeah, use a probe to be sure.

Right. Without knowing the thickness of the steak you can’t accurately assess the time it will take to cook it. But if you are resting it after the sear, not between the slow cook and the sear, and you are frying it it oil I doubt it will matter anyway.

-brush steak with olive oil, season steak and let it sit for a while (I don’t necessarily get it to room temp, but get rid of the chill from the fridge)

- 20 minutes in oven at 250 degrees

- place cast iron skillet in oven at 500 degrees for 20 min. while steak takes a rest

- place heated skillet on stove on high temp, sear around 45 seconds on both sides

> medium rare for a typical grocery store ribeye or strip (around 3/4”-1”)

He's in college and has a cast iron skillet. Tell him to buy a notebook, keep notes, and figure it out for himself.

God, I wish I had the Internet when I was his age.

He has a vent hood on his. Sounds like he's good to go.

He’s just learning how to cook keep it frickin simple: Salt, pepper, drop in a medium hot pan and flip occasionally till it’s done using the finger test.

Then send him an instant read thermometer for Christmas.

One of the benefits of reverse searing is that you don't need to let the steak rest. You can start enjoying the delicious meat as soon as it is cool enough for your mouth.

Make sure it is a vent hood that blows the air outside. A lot of cheap vent hoods these days just blow the air up to the ceiling and don't remove it from the room.

Lopez-Alt says it isn't necessary; I usually believe him.

season thawed steak with salt and pepper, heat pan on stove, open windows/doors, cut off some fat and smear it in the hot pan, sear meat, top with a pat of butter, wait a couple of minutes before slicing

Buy him one of these:

Lavatools Meat Thermometer - $27

Put in pan on high heat, flip every 30 seconds, cook to 129 degrees internal, hope the smoke detector doesn't go off.

What setting does everyone set their stove top to when they are searing? I always see people say set it to high, but if I have my burner on the highest setting and heat up the pan, i'm burning the shite out of the steak.

I’m getting my skillet up to 500 degrees in the oven then immediately going to the stove set on high, and throwing the steak on right away. So the stove being on high is just keeping the skillet at its already high temperature, really.

Haven’t tried that yet, but my dad would love it. He won’t touch a steak that isn’t black, tough and crispy.
