Tried a different approach (for me) on cooking steak and they were perfect

It's been over 100 degrees every day for two weeks here in Hill Country so my grilling exploits have been cut down to practically nothing.

Saw an article online about finishing steaks in the oven after a fast sear.

Cranked my gas grill to 700 degrees and seared each side for 3 minutes. Heated the oven to 400 degrees and put them in for 4 minutes. Came out perfectly for a rare steak with a good crust.

I know it's nothing new, but this may be the way I cook steak moving forward.

What cuts and how thick? I love a good crust

I do the cast iron 500 sear on high burner then into the oven method…but my cook time is much less

You will never go back.

Hot cast iron sear and toss in the oven.

I do a reverse sear all the time, start in the oven then finish on the stove

I have been using the cold pan no oil method when I cook inside to avoid a big mess. It works really well and is quick.

I was thinking the same thing, I guess he started with a frozen steak?

If he's cooking a 2" ribeye I don't see what you are guffawing about. 10 minutes at those temps is not going to get it much above rare if any.

You either don’t know what rare is or your thermometer is broken.

700deg is hot. 6 min of that is going to cook your shite, not just sear it

That is how I do my filets except I wear them on the stove then toss them in the oven.

Nope.

The filets I cooked were about 2 inches thick and they were perfect searing them for 3 minutes a side and 4 minutes in the oven.

That's how it's done in many of the restaurants I worked in.

Sear or mark the steak, then finish in a hot oven (usually 500°F) on a sizzle platter. Flipping once or twice to promote even cooking.

Sous vide then sear. I don’t like the oven method after searing because I think it softens the exterior. I like a little texture from salt/pepper sear. Seem to lose that in oven. 6 in one hand, half dozen in the other. We all have our preferences.

Once you sous vide you never go back. End product is orders of magnitude superior. Really shines with lower grade cuts of meat as you can cook it longer for a nice tender final product a grade or two above its designation without overcooking it.

Before the sous vide the sear and finish in the over was my go to way of cooking.
