Reverse seare strip


This is for u/Valerim and u/Mcroa7. Come at me.

This is a 2 inch thick prime-grade NY strip that I reverse seared on a grill. No sous vide. The benefit of reverse sear is that you get smoke flavor from coals and wood chunks when you cook indirect. After cooking indirect, I seared on a hot griddle to get some malliard browning on the outside.

Seasoning was 2 parts coarse ground black pepper and 1 part kosher salt.

Am I biased? Hell yeah, I'm hey_grill, not hey_sous_vide! But IMO sous vide is over rated for steak. If you know how to grill, you can make next-level steaks.

    Sorry. Literally no sear.

    I’m a reverse sear dude. I’m not seeing the sear.

    The only thing that’s seared is the black pepper which is burned now

    That’s just burnt pepper on an unseared piece of meat bruv

    When are you gonna learn how to reverse sear?

  14. Ya_Mammy_

    There is no sear but the internal temp looks nice

    OK guys. I cook professionally. Sometimes, on an open flame grill, you don’t get a perfect sear. Our steaks, as they should be, are kept between 34-38° Fahrenheit. This steak man made looks delicious and I’d eat the hell out of it. Some of us work and don’t have 8 hours to make the world’s most perfect steak. Y’all gatekeeping.

    Good color inside but no real sear on the outside. Pepper is burnt.

    Pan was too hot and burnt the pepper. I suggest adding pepper after.
    6.8/10

    I’ve seen hockey pucks with more flavor left, how many days you cook that thing?

    You can say it’s not seared well enough for you etc. But anyone who’s claiming the steak in OP is well done literally doesn’t have eyes that work. There is nothing well done about that.

    ITT: OP grills mediocre steak, OP brags about mediocre steak, OP gets mad when people call steak mediocre. I have no idea why this popped up on my feed but it’s hilarious.

    Wow dude you’re good

    In retrospect, I can see that some of the fat hasn’t rendered and the sear line is very very thin. I mean I think this looks delectable, but you’re not gonna get an A+ around here.

    I know how to cook a steak a million ways. I can cook one reverse and get a perfect color and temp.
    BUT. The flavor is never there like every other steak I make. It tastes weird.
    Why?

    I don’t know why this came up on my feed, but holy shit is OP ever hilarious and insufferable. I had so much fun reading through these comments trying their hardest to give feedback on his poor searing and burnt pepper. And before he asks, I’ve cooked about five steaks in my lifetime, none of them looked as good as this one either. I have no business judging your steak, but I think we all know what kind of person you are from this shit show. 10/10 will be back to this sub again if there is more people like OP posting here.

    Comments are absurd. Steak looks great. People sitting here whining because you’re responding to their rude ass comments with a simple request to show their own steak. This sub has forgotten what constructive criticism means.

    Impressive. Now let’s see Paul Allen’s steak
