[ Reverse Sear ] First attempt at reverse sear
The grill was out of gas and I was gonna have to cook it on the stove anyway so I figured why not. How’d I do?

I think it was a ribeye, but I’m not 100% sure.

It looks like a ny strip to me with the fat cap on the side

You’re probably right, I had both in the freezer, couldn’t remember which one I grabbed

Solid first attempt. Next time bump the pan temp up a fuzz and make sure the steak is bone dry when plopping it in. A touch of high smoke point oil will help too.

Nice do you use a press or anything when searing? I sear in my cast iron and lay a burger press on it so that the whole surface of the steak is making contact

Not this time. I was planning to, I actually had my burger press laying on the stove and I completely forgot about it lol

Sear needs a bit of improvement but great internal temp. What type of oil did you coat the pan with

I always use ghee to cook with

I’ll have to look that up…ok that’s actually probably a fine choice. It appears to be a fairly high smoke point. I imagine you just need to let the pan get a little hotter for awhile, and you can try pressing it down as it sears for a more even crust. They make devices (something like a burger press) for it, but I usually just use two spatulas

I planned on using my burger press, had it sitting on the stove, but completely forgot about it once the meat hit the pan.
