I reverse sear alot using a pellet grill (smoker) and then a 26" Blackstone flat top. I cook all of my steaks MR and reverse sear to 120°before hitting the screaming hot flat top for 1 minute each side. If that was a 1" steak he cooked he definitely overcooked it on the finish most likely trying to get some color into the steak. If not it would have been an ugly grey. His heat ring on each side tells no lies. They were at least twice as thick as mine. Maybe 75% thicker not leaving about 30% of MR on that one side and the rest visibly overcooked. 80% of the inside of a steak should be what you want it to be MR. That leaves 10% per side to put a screaming hot crust on it using flavored butter or your choice of oils. I use homemade flavored butter myself. I personally wouldn't use this method and would do a proper reverse sear. Yes this is faster for 1 or 2 steaks but the outcome isn't great IMO The awesome thing about using a pellet smoker is you can use different types of pellets for different smoke profiles and you can have your smoker and your flat top cleaned and inside just a tad after the steaks are done resting. And by reverse searing in a pellet grill it'll take 45 minutes to an hour depending on how large and thick the staff are. I've actually had 2.5" Tomahawks take 1.5 hours to come up to 120°. I normally cook 4-10 at a time and the only special tools you need to have is wired or wireless thermometers for the meat and 1 for the smoker. *Always double check you grill thermometer if it comes with one as many can be off as much as 100° Your grill may say it's 250 but in reality it's 350. Most can be calibrated but the wired unit I use has one for the grill and 4 for meat so I bypass the one that came with mine. I did check it against the other and it's 30° high. Anyway, hopefully I'm not barking at a wall and you get some ideas from this. No fuss and no muss cooking outside and very easy clean up! Be blessed! ✌️

I live in central Texas, and it just gets too dang hot to grill outdoors in the summer. I tried this tonight on a T-Bone in my dry carbon steel pan. The steak was perfect after 8 minutes,...maybe a bit more towards Rare instead of the usual medium rare I shoot for. Did the salting an hour before,....took it off the medium heat when my probe showed temps from 118 to 130. Let it rest 5 minutes and rubbed a pat of butter around the top. Looked great with a nice browned crust,....and rare inside. Delicious! This is my new preferred way to cook a steak!!!

One thing I've learned over the years cooking steak, is that I like a good sear. The reverse sear method is perfect for me even though it takes a little while longer. But I am convinced that if smoke isn't rolling out of my kitchen, then I haven't done a good job searing LOL! I would be cautious if you're using a Teflon pan and heating it on high. As long as you don't get distracted, I'd say you'd be okay with the short amount of time it's on high. Just thought I would throw that out there. Thanks for the idea😁

I always cook steaks on the grill in double foil folded up around the edges with a quarter inch of olive oil. I let it get close to 400 degrees and then sear the steaks on both sides. Then I turn down the heat and cook the steaks for a couple of minutes on both sides. Perfection. I grill pork tenderloins the same way except I sear the tenderloin all around, remove it from the grill and cut it into medallions. I turn down the heat and lay the medallions with tongs back in the oil and cook them on both sides for a couple of minutes each. Very tasty and tender.

I do think there is a bit too much grey from either side of the steak before the pink middle. This is how I cook steak, giving me a thin sear and then a perfekt pink between (medium rare). I usually get steaks that are slightly less than 1 inch thickness. - Dry off the steak, season with salt and pepper - In pan, high heat, 45 seconds searing on each side, and also sear the sides - Put in oven at 400 F for 7 minutes, Take out of oven and let rest under foil for 30 min - Put back in oven for another 7 minutes, take out and enjoy! It is perfect every time! :)

The best way to make steak is salt and pepper at least 2 hours before cooking, get the pan hot as hell with olive oil and put the strip of fat down first, let the fat render and melt into the pan and I mean really almost burn the fat, put the steak down and let it sear for like 2-3 minutes depending on thickness. Flip the steak and throw in a thick chunk of butter, a clove of crushed garlic and some rosemary on the stick. Move the butter around the outside of the pan so it melts around the steak and absorbs the flavors, then get a spoon and tilt the pan a bit so the butter goes to one side, and toss the butter all over the steak with the spoon over and over again for the rest of the 2 minutes of that side. Then flip the steak one more time and throw the butter on it again for about 10-15 seconds. Turn off the pan and flip the steak presentation side up onto a plate. Then pick up the charred rosemary sticks and place them on the steak so it’s flavors melt into the steak as it rests. Let it rest for minimum 7-10 minutes. Best steak you’ll ever have.

My fave never fail is room temp steak scorching hot cast iron, season heavily all sides then tongs to fry the fatty ends and get some beef lard rendered. Then each side till it's as seared as you dare, then wrap in foil and put it somewhere best suited to regulate the time you have available or the doneness you want.

The cold sear method by Lan Lam may have to be adjusted here, because she used a thicker cut of steak than a rib eye that you used. According to her, a steak should be at least 1 1/2 inches thick. Otherwise, the outside of a thinner cut steak may become overcooked resulting in a gray band. I don't know what the solution is for a thinner cut. Perhaps, the cold sear method may not be ideal here. Instead, start off with a really hot pan and aim to quickly form a crust on both sides of the steak. Then turn the flame way down and finish off the steak.

Theoretically, keeping the temperature higher longer should get the desired effect. And if you cook on electric or induction, you can hit a higher temp. But then you start running into the same disadvantages you might with a traditional search, splatter and risky temps for nonstick and may just be better to do it the traditional way. My impression of the Lan Lan video was that the cold sear probably lives best In the 1 1/2in niche. 1.25" or thinner go hot and fast in cast iron. 1.75" and up, reverse sear.

Looks good! Does it matter what kind of pan you use? I have mainly cast iron but I would like to get one like you have. What brand do you use? I do mainly low carb so this looks great for me. I've done keto but gotten away from it but want to get back to that so this with the asparagus is very appealing to me. However, I do want to try those roasted potatoes! 😁

The pan I am using during the video is a "Blue Diamond". It does pretty good, but the handle gets too hot, so i had to put a silicone cover on it. The cast iron pan should work great for this, perhaps even better than the one I am using. The non-stick pan does work great for a lot of everyday cooking. I especially love it for omelets.

@@ralphknowsfood Thanks Ralph! I got a 'cozy' for the handle of my cast iron pans made like a pot holder that goes around the handle. The silicone cover for your pan sounds like a good idea and it does look like it would do very nicely for omelets.

All non-stick pans should not be put on heat over medium. High heat will ruin the non-stick pan quickly, and it will no longer be non-stick. Other types of pans that are good for high heat (cast iron, carbon steel, stainless steel, etc.) will have the meat stick to the pan until it is cooked enough on that surface of the meat touching the pan when it will release from the pan naturally (generally once a crust has been formed. I guess I do not know if that would be the same if starting from a cold pan, but most will heat up slower than a non-stick pan and not cool down as quick as a non-stick pan, because the non-stick pans tend to be a lot lighter weight and thinner.

Thanks to Lan Lam this is my favourite method, however this is not done in minutes. Takes a good 20 to 30 minutes to get a great result and would usually have a steak at twice this thickness to get a great crust. Agree that brining the steak with salt an hour or so prior is also highly recommended. This really is the best scientific method to cooking a thick steak in a domestic kitchen. Restaurants generally use either standard sear or reverse sear methods due to time constraints and the fact they have commercial grills and broilers that reach much higher temperatures.

This is a new method. The steak looks very soft. The sear is not great, but better than most home cooks get. I wonder if the flavor would be better if you seasoned the cutting board instead of the dry brine method. I bet a flame sear in addition to the cold pan would improve the results considerably and retain that perfect medium rare that you achieved.

@ralphknowsfood Жыл бұрын

Great observations and suggestions. In my newer Tomahawk video, I try to flip more often (30 seconds) during the searing phase. I think it helps with both the sear and how even it cooks inside.

YIKES! Way too much grey area! After spending a fortune on such an expensive steak you don't want to ruin it by attempting a "cold sear", you took way too long to cook it which is why you got so much grey area (two Thord of the steak is ruined). At home we cook hot and fast, no flipping once its cooked on each side and we don't get any grey area at all and it tastes far better than the mediocre steaks that have so much grey area, and we gear a better sear than what we see in this video. Try it hot and fast to see the difference yourself.

That is one sad-looking steak and there's no way that grey 'searing' even began producing the maillard reaction for a beefy, flavorful, darkened crust... which is after all, the point of searing. This method is at least slightly better than boiling a rib eye, maybe.
