My First Reverse Sear
Options

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.

@jeroldharter I got the thickest one they had. I need to find a local custom butcher...They/Them

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.They/Them

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.. probablyLarge & Small BGE, CGW Two-Tier Swing Rack for BOTH EGGS, Spider for the Wok, eggCARTen & and Cedar Pergola my Eggs call home in Edmond, OK.

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.Large & Small BGE, CGW Two-Tier Swing Rack for BOTH EGGS, Spider for the Wok, eggCARTen & and Cedar Pergola my Eggs call home in Edmond, OK.

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.Delta B.C. - Whiskey and steak, because no good story ever started with someone having a salad!
