First Reverse Sear

During my first trip to Costco I picked up some strips. First attempt at a reverse sear. Rubbed down the dry steak and then they went indirect. I was shooting for 110° but I pulled at 118°. I had a CI on my spider dome temp reading 550°. Dropped them in for 90sec then flip and 60 sec. They were great, I'll prob pull them earlier next time any maybe sear longer? Any thoughts if this would increase the crust? Thanks-

    Looks good. I cook mine to 120 and then let mine rest for 20-30 mins in a warm oven before I sear them. Then I serve right away after the sear.

    For increased crust, try pulling them at a lower temp, flip more often, and hotter pan.

    In cooking, often we implement steps for which we have no explanations other than ‘that’s what everybody else does’ or ‘that’s what I have been told.’  Dare to think for yourself.

    Hot pan, lots of butter or grease and pat dry before searing. I've had my CI north of 800. Not really good for the seasoning and a hell of a fire to reach into(in the pan =) ) but I had some awesome crust!
