You Can't Beat It!, and here's why.

Sure, if you went out and bought a few fresh steaks the reverse sear is great. But if you are like me and buy primal cuts to butcher yourself, or even if you just buy up the sales, the only way to to preserve them is to freeze them.


I know I have said this before but... Once you try this, you will never thaw a steak again!

The science is in the video.

Give it a shot, you won't be sorry!

Can thick cut pork chops be cooked like this?

I saw this article early in the morning and was a bit skeptical.  So you actually did it and it was juicy and tender?

So you are basically Trexing from frozen. I see no reason you can't reverse sear either.

I have been doing this forever and it is awesome.  

@XC242 This cowboy is about 4 fingers thick, you can't quite tell from the pic.  They are thick enough that me and my wife split one, and sometimes I can't finish it lol.

@Eggcelsior  You can reverse sear, but the key to keeping in the moister was to sear while frozen so that less of the meat rises above 140F, only the very outside crisps up and the rest cooks to the perfect desired temp, as shown above.

damn that looks good

That's what reverse sear does for me. Only the surface goes over my finished temp.



Zero banding here. It's as if I painted the sear on.

That sir is beautiful, but I'm pretty sure I saw that steak in an earlier post, and you could have dredged it through a dirty ashtray and I still would be sitting here drooling, lol!

I'm not trying to say this method isn't worthwhile. I'm just postulating that reverse sear could work too.

GalanteNate_OneEa

Trust me, we all have one thing in common, BGE, and we all know that reverse sear works well because there is pretty much no way to get an egg up to 600F to sear, and then down to 250ishF to cook at, so it only makes sense to cook reverse.  Im willing to give it the pepsi challenge to see which method turns out better.
