This Steak isn’t thick enough to reverse sear.

Or for people with steaks 3x the thickness of yours

Reverse searing is for people who like to cook thick steaks.

This sub has an irrational hatred/misunderstand of what reverse searing even is.
It’s for cuts much thicker than this…

The only thing I like more than reverse sear is lazy gatekeeping!

I think this is one of the more appetizing steaks I’ve seen on here. I also like mine with white rice (short grain Japanese rice). Looks great!

Just looked up the difference.. I’ve been searing this whole time when I thought I was reverse searing lol

Looks great. Not sure why people are mad but that steak looks delicious.

At a certain thickness a steak becomes a roast.

If you’re comparing reverse searing to just 1 stage “cooking in a pan” then yes it’s less risky. But if you’re comparing to “forward searing” (i.e., sear first then lower temp), then in my mind, reverse searing is actually riskier but has a higher reward.
Reverse searing has the higher reward because in theory the cook-first stage helps prep for the sear. It also lets you do the resting pre-sear so you can eat it right away after searing. However, it’s riskier, because you have to account for the sear when you decide to stop the initial cook.
“Forward” searing misses the benefits stated above, but allows you to get the sear done however you like it, and then just let it finish in a semi-automated way.

And who want to render a bunch of fat from their ribeye.

Is there any difference in the final quality of sear whether it is a reverse or normal sear. Does searing and then finishing over indirect change the quality of the sear if it is sitting over indirect for some time?
Reverse sear would be quicker to the plate, does it matter?

Why so much butter?

I can’t be the only one who was wondering why there was a hole in the middle of that streak, can I? Oh it’s butter. Oh

I can almost taste it!

That as perfect as any steak I’ve seen. 🏆

That is a thin steak. No need to reverse sear.

I did my first reverse sear with a 500g scotch filllet on charcoal yesterday. It will be the only way I cook my good steaks now. Was insanely good

You cooked the entire continent of Africa and then put it next to a bed of rice. Big old pad of butter on the Democratic Nation of the Congo.

This is funny. We moved in an apartment so had to put my grills in storage. Last night was the first time I pan seared some NY strips in a cast iron with some oil then butter and herbs and garlic. The way the meat just melts in your mouth, omg. I’m aware of the joke I just set someone up for, it’s my gift to you lol
