My take on how to create a steak masterpiece!

 Reverse searing is a cooking method that has gained quite a bit of popularity in the steak-loving community in recent years - and for good reason. By cooking your steak low and slow at first, and finishing it off with a sear at the end, you can achieve a perfectly cooked, juicy steak with a delicious crust.



Here's how to reverse-sear a steak:


Choose your steak: The first step is to choose a high-quality steak. Look for marbling (also known as intramuscular fat), which will make your steak juicy and tender.


Preheat your oven: Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C).


Season your steak: Season your steak generously with salt, pepper, and any other spices you like.


Slow-cook your steak: Place your steak on a wire rack over a baking sheet and transfer it to the oven. Cook until your steak reaches an internal temperature of about 120°F (49°C) for medium-rare (or your desired doneness). This could take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the thickness of your steak.


Rest your steak: When your steak reaches your desired internal temperature, remove it from the oven and allow it to rest for 10-15 minutes. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, resulting in a more tender, juicy final product.


Sear your steak: Once your steak has rested, it's time to finish it off with a sear on the stovetop or on a grill. Heat a cast-iron skillet or grill to high heat and add a small amount of oil (such as canola or vegetable oil). Sear your steak for about 1 minute on each side, or until a crusty brown layer forms.


Rest and slice: When your steak is seared to your liking, remove it from the heat and allow it to rest for a few more minutes. Then, slice against the grain and serve!


Now you know how to reverse sear a steak! Give it a try and see how much of a difference it makes. Enjoy your delicious masterpiece!
