My First Reverse Sear

DMW
DMW Posts: 13,832
Picked this up at Wegman's on the way home today. Will be attempting my first reverse sear on this 24oz ribeye. It's about 1.5" thick. I just lightly salted with kosher salt and will let rise to room temp while I get the egg ready. A little pepper before it goes on. Will post results.

  • Nice steak but I would go even thicker when possible. 2 inches is perfect in my view.

    @henapple Good idea, was in a hurry today, next time will ask them to cut some for me. I threw a couple chunks of mesquite in as well.

    OK, reverse sear is awesome. A little on the rare side for the kiddos, but perfect for me. Next time i will take theirs to 125* IT before the sear I think.

    Looks awesome, that is something I have yet to tackle myself. One of these days I will finally get around to it.

    @Solson005 Not sure I will ever order a steak when we go out again, don't recall ever having one that hit the spot like this.

    That is part of my problem, steaks turn out so good at one temp I can't imagine them being any better using another method so I haven't tried it yet. 

    I will give it a shot soon.. probably

    450° to 500° sear a couple mins per side depending on the thickness. Sometimes I move it to the top of my CGW Swing rack to finish, then pull about 5° before my target temp. It is good enough that I don't head out to steakhouses unless someone else is picking up the bill and I usually think I could cook it better myself when I'm there.

  • Great looking cook. First tried reverse sear to get a well done steak for SWMBO. the low and slow indirect part of the cook lets me toss her's on for 10-15 minutes before I put mine on. There is no chance of turning hers into charcoal as the heat is so gentle, hence she gets a well done steak without it being burnt. 
    Have never gone any other way since. 
    You nailed it.
