Sounds like we have a disciple of Mr. Meathead Goldwyn on our hands here. And I agree, Mr. Fresh - sear in the rear is the best ... bar none. ??

Beautiful! I love a grilled steak... who doesn't??? Great job

I think I first heard about it on the Big Green egg forum. But I have read plenty by Goldwyn. Doesn't hurt that the NY Strip was a Wagyu #8. It was delicious. Picking up a couple more to take home from my favorite butcher shop on my way to the airport.jlmarta:Sounds like we have a disciple of Mr. Meathead Goldwyn on our hands here.

Ah, so. And where's a good place to obtain some Wagyu #8 if you don't mind sharing that info? And assuming it's someplace other than Costco .... ?? -
Pardon my ignorance, but what's a reverse sear?
-
Many people cook a steak right on the grill, but many will use a grill, grill pan, or cast iron/stainless to sear it over high heat and then finish it in the oven for more even cooking. Reverse sear places the steak in the oven first to start warming it and then you sear it over the grill or in your pan.Ken Light:Pardon my ignorance, but what's a reverse sear? -

For the real lowdown on "sear in the rear" or "reverse sear", go to Amazingribs.com and read what "Meathead" Goldwtn says about it. To the best of my knowledge, he's the one who started it all... -
Jimmy P's Butcher shop in Naples, FL. It's a great lunch spot as well if you're ever in the area. http://www.jimmypsbutchershop.com/jlmarta:D Fresh:

Yeah I usually just do the grill the whole time instead of the oven. When doing it indirectly it's basically the same anyway, just prefer the charcoal flavor. It is really the best way to grill a steak, it just takes a little longerjlmarta:Martel:

Right. I've done steaks and tri-tips using this method and IMO there's a noticeable improvement in the end product. ?? -
I've always been under the assumption that the reverse sear is to start in the oven ..... At 250 til the steak reaches an internal Temperture of 130 then you let the steak rest for 15-20 minutes and then sear in a cast iron or grill over high heat for about 1 minute per side ..... Then slice/eat immediately...... It gives you a small layer of sear on top and bottom and all medium rare in the rest of the steak.

That was my guess, but doesn't the lack of sear allow more juices to escape as it cooks? Sounds like a restaurant short-hand method where you par cook and then finish it to order. Definitely skeptical that this would improve the finished product, but open to trying it.

Doesn't work like that, Ken. You'd have to read the article. I can't begin to explain it as well as Goldwyn does. .... -
