Reverese Sear Question

Going to do some reverse sear Rib-Eyes tonight, was curious how long it usually takes to get the steaks to a temp of 115.

    How thick?

    Usually in the 30 min +/- range IIRC.

    Depends on your cooking temp, (225 - 350 or so is the norm), steak thickness, and meat temp when you put it on (straight from fridge vs. from the counter at room temperature).

    A very thick, cold steak can take an hour at 225.

  • These are about and inch think gonna go 250-275 indirect till 115 than 600 for 60sec per side.

    Does this sound about right?

    I just did some 1.5 inch rib eyes. At 270 it took about 40 minutes to get to 110IT. The 550 sear for a minute per side.

    I've started searing with the lid open.  It cuts down on the internal roasting a bit.

    Just be prepared for some good flames with this method.  They all work.
