Reverse Seared Steak Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200°F/95°C.
• Pat the steak dry with a paper towel, and generously season all sides of the steak with salt and pepper.
• Transfer to a wire rack on top of a baking sheet, and bake for about 45 minutes to an hour, until the internal temperature reads about 125°F/50˚C for medium-rare. Adjust the bake time if you like your steak more rare or well-done.
• Heat the canola oil in a pan over high heat until smoking. Do not use olive oil, as its smoke point is significantly lower than that of canola oil and will smoke before reaching the desired cooking temperature.
• Sear the steak for 1 minute on one side, then flip.
• Add the butter, garlic, rosemary, and thyme, and swirl around the pan. Transfer the garlic and herbs on top of the steak and baste the steak with the butter using a large spoon.
• Baste for about 1 minute, then flip the steak with tongs and baste the other side for about 15 seconds.
• Turn the steak on its side and cook to render off any excess fat.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• With a steak at room temp, generally cover with salt and pepper.
• Place the steak on a cooling rack on top of the foil-lined baking sheet.
• Place steak in oven at 275 degree until internal temp is 125 degrees (use a thermometer so you get the exact temp).
• Remove from oven and let rest for 15 minutes.
• In a cast iron skillet on med high heat, add oil HARD sear each side.
• Can be served immediately since it already had a resting period.

Steps:

• To get an extra-crispy crust, place the steak on a wire rack set over a baking sheet and leave, uncovered, in the refrigerator overnight. The air in the refrigerator is dry and will help dry the outside of the steak.
• When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
• Generously season the steak all over on both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder and mushroom powder if using.
• Place the steak, still on the wire rack and baking sheet, directly into the oven. Cook, checking the internal temperature occasionally, for 20 to 40 minutes. Ideally you want the steak to be 120 degrees F for medium-rare/medium, which is my favorite.
• Just before the steak comes out of the oven, heat a dry cast-iron skillet over high heat for 1 minute. Add the butter, then immediately add the steak to skillet and cook until each side is crusty and well browned, about 45 seconds per side, pushing down to sear. Using tongs, hold the steak sideways to sear the edges. Serve right away; there's no need to let reverse-seared steaks rest.

Steps:

• Remove steaks from the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before cooking to bring them to room temperature.
• Position racks in the middle and lower third of the oven. Place a cast iron skillet on the bottom rack. Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F (110 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.
• Pat the steaks dry with a paper towel and season generously on all sides with salt and pepper. Place on the wire rack on the baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Continue baking, checking internal temperature every 10 minutes, until steaks reach 120 degrees F (49 degrees C) for medium-rare. Remove from the oven and set aside.
• Use an oven mitt to remove the hot cast iron skillet from the oven. Set it over medium-high heat on the stovetop. Add oil; heat until it barely starts smoking. Carefully add the steaks, releasing them away from you so the oil doesn't splatter in your direction. Cook until a golden crust forms, turning only once, 2 minutes per side. Use tongs to stand steaks on their sides to render any fat.
• Reduce heat to low and add butter, rosemary, and garlic. Baste steaks with the butter mixture using a spoon, about 3 minutes. Move steaks onto a cutting board and let rest for about 10 minutes.
• Serve steaks whole or sliced, finished with sea salt flakes.

Steps:

• If using wood chips, soak in water for 30 minutes. Set up your grill for indirect grilling and heat to 250 degrees. Clean and oil the grill grate.
• Remove the tri-tip from the refrigerator. Generously season it with salt, pepper and granulated onion or garlic (or both) on all sides.
• Place the tri-tip, fat side up, on the grill grate away from the heat. Insert a remote thermometer probe, if using, deep into the center of the meat. If you soaked wood chips, drain them. If using a charcoal grill, add the wood chunk(s) or chips to the coals. If using a gas grill, place the wood chunks under the grate over one of the burners, or place the chips in your grill's smoker box. Close the lid. Indirect grill the tri-tip to obtain an internal temperature of 110 degrees, which will take 30 minutes or so. Transfer the tri-tip to a platter and let it rest for at least 10 minutes, or as long as 1 hour.
• Just before serving, heat your grill to high. On a charcoal grill, rake the coals into a mound in the center of the grill, adding fresh coals as needed. Let the new coals burn until glowing red. On a gas grill, simply set the burners on high.
• Return the tri-tip to the grate directly over the heat, fat side up, and reinsert the thermometer probe, if using. Direct grill until the top and bottom are sizzling, crusty and dark, and the internal temperature is 125 degrees for rare or 135 degrees for medium-rare, 3 to 6 minutes per side, turning with tongs.
• Transfer the tri-tip to a cutting board and thinly slice across the grain. (You do not need to rest the meat a second time.) Take time to notice the even color and doneness of the meat and to appreciate the intoxicating aroma of the wood smoke. Serve at once, while the steak is still hot.
