Reverse searing a ribeye steak is a cooking technique that results in a perfectly cooked steak with a tender, juicy interior and a crispy, flavorful crust. This method involves first cooking the steak at a low temperature, which helps to render the fat and break down the connective tissue. Then, the steak is seared at a high temperature to create a beautiful crust and caramelize the exterior.

REVERSE SEARED RIBEYE

Provided by Jeff Mauro, host of Sandwich King

Time 2h10m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 large bone-in rib-eyes, at room temperature
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
2 tablespoons canola or grapeseed oil
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F.
  • Season all sides of the rib-eyes liberally with salt and pepper. Place on wire rack-lined baking sheet. Bake until the desired internal temperature is reached, 105 degrees F for rare, 115 for medium rare and 125 for medium, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. When the rib-eyes come out of the oven, tent loosely with aluminum foil while preheating the skillet.
  • Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil, then sear the steaks on the first side for about a minute. Flip the steaks and add the butter to the skillet. Once the butter has melted, continue to cook the steaks, continuously basting with the melted butter, until seared on the second side, about 45 seconds. Sear the fat cap as well to crisp up, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
  • Slice and serve immediately, spooning the pan juices over each slice. There is no need to rest the meat with the reverse sear method.

REVERSE-SEAR RIBEYE STEAK



Reverse-Sear Ribeye Steak image

In 2001, I started playing with the idea of reverse-searing, or slow-cooking beef first, then searing to finish. Initially, I tried it on a standing rib roast and not only did the technique produce an evenly done interior and great sear, it didn't smoke up the kitchen nearly as bad as the traditional sear-first method. Does this work on steak? Anyone with a food blog these days knows darn well it does. As for sauce, this steak don't need no stinkin' sauce - but if you happen to have some of my compound herb butter on hand, that wouldn't be bad. Note: A proper probe thermometer has a control base with a readout, a long metal cable and a long, sharp probe that goes into the food and remains throughout cooking. Typically, the base will have a temperature alarm that can be set to go off when a target temperature is reached.This recipe first appeared in Season 1 of Good Eats: Reloaded.

Time 7h30m

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 (1 1/2-inch thick) boneless ribeye steak, about 14 ounces
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoon peanut oil

Steps:

  • Season steak on both sides with the salt and place on a rack set inside a rimmed sheet pan. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or up to 24.
  • Heat oven to 200ºF. Insert a probe thermometer horizontally through the side of the steak and roast, still on the rack and sheet pan, until it reaches an internal temperature of 120ºF, about 1 hour. Remove steak from the oven and rest, uncovered, for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place a 12-inch cast iron skillet over high heat until it reaches at least 600ºF, at least 10 minutes. (If you don't have an infrared thermometer, you'll know you're close when 1/2 teaspoon water dropped in the middle of the pan has completely evaporated in 5 seconds.
  • Brush a very light coat of peanut oil onto both sides of the steak. Transfer to the hot skillet and sear on each side until deeply browned, 45 seconds per side. Use a stopwatch!
  • Transfer to a clean rack and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice diagonally against the grain to serve.

REVERSE-SEAR STEAK



Reverse-Sear Steak image

The first time my dad went to the Pacific Dining Car in Los Angeles was in the 1950s. His mother, my Nanny Lolo, loved it. She was fussy about steaks, and it was (and still is) one of the best steakhouses in LA. When I want steak at home, I think of the Pacific Dining Car's classic steaks, but with an updated way of cooking them: the reverse-sear method. The reverse-sear method was made famous by J. Kenji Lopez-Alt, as the way to get the perfect steak, every time. I usually hate techniques that feel like gimmicks--I like to cook things simply with as little fuss as possible. However, I tried it myself, and honestly...the hype is true. It takes more time, but it's easy and the best way to get a perfect steak. The key is to use a very thick slab of meat. If you use a thin steak, this process won't work--you'll cook it through too quickly.

Time 8h50m

Yield about 2 servings, depending on the size of the steak

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 bone-in rib-eye steak, cut at least 1 inch thick
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Garlic powder, for sprinkling
Shiitake mushroom powder, for sprinkling, optional
3 tablespoons unsalted butter

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 PRIME RIB ROAST

Dry-brining the prime rib the day before roasting means every bite is flavorful, and slow-roasting at a low temperature followed by a high-heat sear ensures a delicious medium-rare doneness throughout with a savory herb crust.
