Can you explain this method?

just do what you did except put it in the oven first. get it to your preferred temp

right before it hits temp, get your cast iron screaming hot

remove from oven and sear quick and super hot for a crust (like 1 min/side shite) then remove

i don't even think you have to let it rest

its pretty hard to get a gray, uneven cook on a thick steak,

if you do the traditional one flip it's not all that difficult (esp on a charcoal grill)

Or you could not ruin a nice piece of meat with stuff like that and just salt and pepper it. Marinades are for shitty/cheap cuts
I agree. In my scenario, you're just looking for whatever crap you have and brushing it on quick. You're not actually marinating and soaking for hours.

I think you are supposed to let it rest between the oven and the searing.

What do you cook it on in the oven? Just use 2 cast irons so one can be super hot on the stove while the steak is in the oven?

How hot do you get the oven and how long do you cook? Do you flip?

When it's served on a super-hot plate, it sure as hell will.

You should cut it into large pieces (in half, thirds, quarters, etc...depending on its size) so that the meat does not continue cooking. Nothing worse than ordering/cooking a medium-rare steak, only to have a medium-well steak by the time I eat it.


Know how I know that you don't have a clue how to properly cook a steak? Read your post again and you'll know.

If the cook knows what they are doing they will take the steak off at the proper temperature so that once the steak has rested (and thus finished cooking) it will be at the temperature that is was ordered.

Last time I had two nice thick ribeyes I did one solely on the BGE to medium rare, and one reverse sear, oven then BGE.

They both came out pretty awesome, even though I was aiming for medium on the reverse sear steak for the wife. One of the better medium cooked steaks I've had, since it was that temp throughout and not overcooked part of the way through.

I've been doing a combo of cast iron in oil(medium to medium high heat) and finish with basting.

Oil in cast iron to cover whole area.
Flip steak every 30 seconds for about 5 minutes.
Pull steak and add butter to pan.
Baste steak with butter for 30 seconds on each side.
Pull and let rest.


Been a good method I've been using.

How hot do you get the oven and how long do you cook? Do you flip?
Cook low (200 degrees) until the internal temp is about 10 to 15 degrees short of your desired doneness. Then sear it.
