Reverse seared steak

So I've never heard of this until joining this forum.  Read about it today since I had planned on steak for supper tonight.  I must say my first attempt was pretty successful.  It was the best steak I've ever made, and I've made some good ones.  Sorry no pics, but I inhaled it before I thought about it.  I didn't cook it on my egg, instead I used my Weber, but I'll try it on the egg soon. I appreciate all the different info I get from the folks on this forum.  As a newbie I am learning a lot.

    That's ok. We can forgive you this time.

    Are you serious? You are testing our patience! 

    No seriously I am glad you enjoyed your steak. Next time cook it on the egg and post pics!

    @HoosierDaddy - Why would you admit this ^^^ ?  I use a weber as well, but it's because I don't have my egg yet.  I've learned from the forum, that once you own an egg - the weber is reserved for a warming drawer and storage for egg accessories.

    Seriously though, congrats on the new egg, and welcome to the site

    I've never understood why people get up in arms when someone references the use of another grill on this forum.  I get it.  It's a egg forum.  Is that the only grill everyone here has ever cooked on?

    Get over yourself.

    BTW. Assuming it was a nice cook, even if it wasn't on the egg. Too bad I can't see it. ;)
  • Lmao...yeah yeah I got it.  Next time I'll use the egg, and post pics.  Went with convenience since I was repairing my deck, and that's where the Weber is.

    Be careful. That webber is probably jealous of your new egg. Wouldn't want it setting that new deck ablaze out of spite.

    Maybe he's talking about someone with a very unoriginal forum, social media and blog handle.  :pensive: 
    Just a hack that makes some $hitty BBQ....

    Once I switched to reverse sear, that is the only way I will cook steaks now.  I used to sear them in cast iron then finsh in the oven.  I liked that better than grilling direct over propane or charcoal.  However, reverse sear on the egg is a whole another level how good it is.  I quit adding seasoned butter to the steaks, and they are still better.

    Welcome to the zoo. 
    We've failed if we've taught you to use (throwing up a lil bit) your Weber. :lol: 
    Seriously though awesome you nailed it regardless of vessel. When you do it on the egg if you have a CI pan utilize it for the sear. You'll be happy you did. Egg on my friend.

    After many years of hit or miss on steak i purchased 3 ny strip steaks - 1 1/2 thick and reverse seared them on separate cooks.  Best 3 steaks i've made.
