October 30, 20205 yr When reverse searing, how long do you usually let it rest between the time it finishes cooking at the lower temp and the final sear? Asking for a friend...aka 1.5” ribeye and ~2” filet. I’ve seen anywhere from “only as long as it take to get your grill/pan up to 500” to “at least 30-60 minutes and as long as 3 hours.” (can’t say I’ve ever done it as long as the latter but hoping that’s actually a thing.. looking at doing the reverse sear Saturday, set them aside, taking the kids around the block in the Halloween costumes for ~1 hour and finishing the final sear when we get back) Edited October 30, 20205 yr by UTexasFight
October 30, 20205 yr Typically 20-30min for me. An hour will let them cool down some inside. If you can set your oven as low as 125-150, I'd tent them in foil to reduce airflow and evaporation, and put them in the oven at 150 or less to hold warm. If not, wrap them in foil and towel and put them in a cooler, and sear for a bit longer when you return to get some heat back into the core.

I’ve only ever let it go for as long as it takes to get the skillet scorching hot. But that’s because I just did it in a 1-2 sequence of events, not because I thought that was the best technique. It’s always great when I do it that way, but who the hell knows, maybe it could be better if done longer? Hell maybe 7 hours? But not 8.
October 31, 20205 yr Picked up a strip loin at Costco yesterday and some scallops. Never cooked scallops before.
November 1, 20205 yr NYS, "traditional" method, over coals with smoking chunks & chips.Lid on grilling for a good smoke rebound inside the kettle.Forgot to take pics while prepped or in action, money shots barely remembered.Standard baker & salad fare as accompaniments.Trying the "food" filter on my Galaxy s8.Sent from my SM-G950U1 using Tapatalk

November 5, 20205 yr I'll allow it. But use a cast iron pan instead of the grill next time. I normally use cast iron. Used a chimney this time to try it out. Not bad.
November 5, 20205 yr Damn, that is a fine looking steak. Perfectly kissed by open flames while remaining medium rare. Respect.

November 7, 20205 yr Nice little strip. Reverse sear on the Weber Kettle. Cast iron over coals with butter to finish.
November 10, 20205 yr 2" thick ribeye I picked up at Whole foods. Sous vide to 129, then seared in a smoking hot cast iron skillet. Came out alright. .
November 16, 20205 yr Birthday gift from my sister from Taste of Texas in Houston. For scale, bones were ~18"

November 24, 20205 yr 1.7lb “ribeye roast”No bones but it had excellent marbling. You know the rest. You need some fat in that pan.
November 24, 20205 yr Sous vide strip with some ass per gas.Also just bought a couple of sides of strip (one choice (14lb) one prime (12lb)) that I’m going to dry age for a bit and cut into steaks.
November 24, 20205 yr GoddamnNew house has a range that will get up and go. And my vent/fume hood has a remote control. I didn’t know I needed that. Anyway it’s nice.

November 24, 20205 yr No you don’t. Best sears I’ve ever gotten have been dry pan, and it’s not even close.Agree to disagree.
November 24, 20205 yr Both ways can be great. If you have a good cut of meat and cook it to temp the rest is just details.
