Had some mini sirloins so I figured I'd try it out. 129 for 2 hrs. 30 sec sear on a cast iron. I'm sold. Sear is more consistent and quicker than oil. Might go a little longer next time.

  2. Okay I’m intrigued. Tell me about the Mayo Method.

    Had this discussion at work, they never heard of it but after we looked it up were all intrigued

    I tried it on pork tenderloins yesterday! One huge plus is that you don’t have to have a ton of oil in the pan which splatters all over. That’s a huge annoyance for me. One minor minus is that I can faintly taste or smell the mayo (at least on pork), it’s not a dealbreaker but I thought I’d mention it.

    Ok but now try it with grilled cheese. Its my go to

    Are you mayoing before the sous vide or just for the sear after?

  7. squirrelbeanie

    Wait wait wait. You don’t add oil anymore? Just mayo and straight into a hot pan?

  8. Ill_Professor3577

    That does t look right to me. Fat is barely rendered and the sear is negligible.

  9. Tried it yesterday with ribeyes. Reverse sear in cast iron with thin spread of mayo on each side. Incredible.

    What mayo do you use? I assume kewpie is bad for this because of the stronger taste?

    Looks great! I think in the next attempt, I’d render the fat on that edge a bit before searing the flat sides.

    After fooling around with cast iron, charcoal chimney, searzall.. I think I found my favorite, easiest method to be mayo sear in a bighorn infrared. Quick heat up time, easy to clean.

  13. Man these things really do go in cycles huh. Someone tag me in 3 months when everyone discovers the peanut butter method again

  14. Anyone do the sear with a torch + mayo? Overkill or?

    I tired it Sunday on my NY strip and didn’t like it. Didn’t get the crust I normally get with Avo oil. Maybe I did something wrong
