Hey Chef, thoughts on reverse searing?

[@CookingwithChefDai]

Hi there. I have reverse seared on large roasts before and have had good results. I think it’s a good way of getting a more consistent doneness and is a bit more forgiving. However I tend to use traditional searing methods more often than not. Have you reverse seared before, how have the results been?

[@fadingxero]

Thanks for the info! I haven't tried it yet--in fact I've somehow lived without an oven for most of my life so I've cooked everything in a pan. I have some t-bones in the fridge that'd do best with some oven time so I figured you'd be a good resource! Since you tend to do the traditional method I think I'll try that first.

[@dericpettigrew]

Well....the only thing I miss about lockdown is not being able to go to Dai’s resto Bento-ya for amazing lunches. A man for whom food is a PASSION. Chimichurri with shiso. Inspired! Tomahawk. Bring it on! 美味しいです！

[@CookingwithChefDai]

Hey Eric, great to hear from you. Thank you for the awesome comment. Hopefully we will reopen around the middle of July. I’ll try and fit an entire tomahawk steak in your katsu curry next time I see you, haha. I hope you and your family have been keeping safe during this turbulent time.

"It's deeply rich and beefy in taste", "got a lovely fat content to it". Then proceeds to RUIN that piece of heavenly goodness by adding hideous black pepper and some disgusting toxic-herb sludge called chimichurri on top of it. Honestly, chefs are a disgrace to food and human nutrition. What's good about this video is the advice regarding how to cook the steak.

[@Dominikmj]

Unfortunately there were some fallacies- and the recipe could be better: a) it is a big hoax, that you should leave meat outside of the fridge! It has been now for a couple of years debunked (the internal temperature of the meat just doesn’t raise fast enough - you could leave it for a several hours outside, but then risk food born illness due to bacteria). Please- don’t ever come with this wrong “pro tip”! (I know - there are still enough professional chefs who also didn’t heard about the debunked myth) b) a big piece of meat like that would be far better with the reverse-sear method. Put it first of all into a low oven - and then afterwards sear it fast and hot - the doneness is far more consistent, it is as tender (if not more tender) and the crust is also better! c) oh even professional chefs don’t get the temperature of steaks right by touch (except of the grill station veterans). If you are grilling an expensive cut like a tomahawk, you should definitely have the coins for a digital thermometer! Overall I really like the Asian twist... cool idea with the rice vinegar, soy sauce and shiso!

[@CookingwithChefDai]

Dominik MJ thanks for the comprehensive feedback. I appreciate it. I’ve always taken meat out before cooking. Pretty much every restaurant I’ve worked at including a steakhouse in Tokyo did the same. You’re right the temp doesn’t raise fast enough but is significantly higher than taking out and immediately cooking at 3C. Each to their own I guess. Reverse sear I like but I also like the traditional method. There are so many schools of thought and techniques. Do you rest meat? Well a lot of top Japanese steakhouses don’t and their end dish tastes incredible. Thanks for taking the time to comment

[@Dominikmj]

Cooking with Chef Dai Unfortunately old and traditional techniques don’t die - even though they are sufficiently debunked. Check out cooking issues (Dave Arnold), Heston Blumenthal books, American Test Kitchen, Modernist Cuisine, Serious Eats... these are some of the science based sources which meticulously tested the “meat out of the fridge”. The core of the steak just doesn’t warm up sufficiently. After scientific sources which did the testing, it doesn’t make a difference- at all. And I am aware, that even Gordon Ramsey often enough suggested to keep the steak out of the fridge... For the resting period, it is a very matter of school of thought. To let the meat rest ensures that the juices don’t run out and make the steak “drier” and the plate a mess... but it has the disadvantage that the meat is not as hot. To serve it directly ensures a fantastic searingly hot steak, at the expense of running juices. Obviously if you are using a high grade wagyu (like many Japanese restaurants) that doesn’t ruin the steak - because the juices are running out of meat- not fat - hence wagyu bleeds,less and has additional a much juicier (fattier) texture... Thanks for your answer of my original comment!
