Reverse Sear Steak Recipe By Tasty Recipes

REVERSE-SEAR STEAK

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.

REVERSE SEAR STEAK

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 225°. Season steak generously with salt and pepper. Transfer steak to a wire rack set in a sheet tray and roast for 50 to 55 minutes, until internal temperature of steak is 125° for medium rare. (If you prefer a more well done steak, adjust timing as necessary for temperature.)
• In a medium cast iron skillet over medium-high, heat oil until almost smoking. Add steak and cook, flipping once, until a deep golden crust begins to form on both sides of the steak, about 1 minute per side.
• Reduce heat to medium low and add butter, garlic, and rosemary to the pan. Using a kitchen towel, carefully grip the skillet handle and tilt towards you so that the melting butter forms a pool at the bottom of the skillet. Using a spoon, continually baste butter onto steak to form a deeper golden crust. Make sure that the rosemary and garlic are submerged in the butter; this will help their flavors meld together. If the steak has any excess fat around the sides, use tongs to hold up the steak on its side and render out the fat.
• Transfer steak onto a cutting board and let rest about 10 minutes to lock in the juices.
• Slice on a bias against the grain, sprinkle with flaky salt and more pepper.

THE BEST REVERSE-SEAR METHOD FOR THICK STEAKS

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:

• 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!
