Resting prevents overcooking during the sear. Rest your steaks at least 5 to 10 minutes per pound. 4) Rest your reverse-seared steaks before searing.ĭon’t skip this step. **Add a few minutes if cooking your steaks straight from the refrigerator. Add about 10 minutes per inch for medium-well/ well-done (145☏/63☌ to 150☏/66☌ before resting). Add about 5 minutes per inch for medium (135☏/57☌ before resting). – The best and most reliable way to know if your steak is at the perfect temperature is to use an instant-read thermometer.Ĭooking times at 250☏ (121☌) for medium-rare (125☏/52☌ before resting): You can dry-brine your steaks as long as 3 days in the refrigerator. If dry brining longer than 2 hours, keep the steaks refrigerated and loosely covered. A dryer surface will promote better browning. Keep the steaks uncovered while dry brining. Less time than that will not give the steaks enough to time to re-absorb the juices extracted by the salt, resulting in a less juicy steak. Let the steaks sit for at least an hour. Usually, about 1/2 teaspoon (3 g) salt per pound is sufficient. Never use more salt to dry brine than you would normally use to season your steaks. Here are 6 helpful tips: 1) Dry brine for flavor and texture.ĭry brining your steaks simply means pre-salting them and then letting them sit to absorb the salt, enhancing the flavor, as well as tenderizing the meat. Reverse-searing works well on frozen steaks, too! (See my post Steaks from Frozen – the Safe Way) Tips: And since the steaks were already rested, the steaks can be served hot right off the pan or grill. A minute per side in a hot pan or grill is enough to get a good crust. Because the steaks can be rested from as short as 10 minutes to as long as 60 minutes, there’s a large window of time allowing the steaks to be seared only when everyone is ready to eat. Resting before searing assures a steak served hot.Ī reverse-seared steak is rested before searing. Plus, when the steak reaches that desired temperature, for example, medium-rare, the steak will be medium-rare throughout, from edge to center with no overcooked grey band along the outside. Low and slow cooking provides control and precision.īy cooking in a low, gentle heat, steaks can be brought up to the desired internal temperature with more control and precision. Unlike pan-seared steaks, which are seared in a hot pan, finished in the oven and then rested, reverse-seared steaks are cooked in a low oven first, rested, and then seared. (Since the steaks were already rested before the sear, no need to rest again.) ***** Pour any butter or pan juices over the steaks. – Remove the steaks to the cutting board or serving plate. (Use tongs to stand the steaks up on their sides.) Optional – Add the melted butter and garlic cloves into the pan. – Place the steaks in the center of the pan and let sear for only about 1 minute per side, moving the steak around only once or twice, to get a good even crust. – Heat the skillet over medium-high heat until the oil is glistening hot, but not smoking. 
– Pour enough vegetable oil to completely coat the bottom of a large cast iron or heavy-bottomed skillet. – Remove the steaks to a rimmed plate, tent with foil and let rest for at least 10 minutes and up to 1 hour. (The internal temperature of the steaks will rise 5 to 10 degrees while it is resting.) 4. – Cook for 30 minutes or until the steaks reach an internal temperature of 125☏ (52☌) for medium-rare.
– Season both sides of the steaks with the seasoning mix. – Combine the black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and MSG. – Preheat the oven to 250☏ (121☌) and place the oven rack in the middle position.
– Let the steaks sit on a rack uncovered over a foil-lined baking sheet at room temperature for at least 1 hour. – Pat the steaks dry with paper towels and then sprinkle both sides with salt. *MSG is wonderful for steak, but if you do not like to use MSG, it can be omitted. 4 to 6 tablespoons (57 to 85 g) butter, melted.2 steaks at least 1″ thick, (about 1 lb/450g each).For some helpful tips before you begin, click here.
