    I like the term Forward sear!

    But this is 100% a reverse sear item, letting it go as looowwwwwww as your patience would allow. This would probably be ideal for a sous vide, actually. There’s a ton of internal fat you want to break down before you start developing a crust.

    Reverse, it gives those thicker veins of fat time to render out and will tenderise the meat itself.

    Can’t help with times/temps though. But for sure reverse that bad boy

    How thick is it? If over an inch, I prefer reverse sear.

    Is reverse ever a wrong idea? Or sometimes when I’m just grilling I will throw in a couple wood chunks to get a hint of smoke/wood fired taste.

    Reverse sear has literally never disappointed me. But if it’s a thin steak you will be better off straight up searing it fast and hard.

    Always reverse. 115 internal give or take 10 depending on desired doneness and then sear baby sear

    Whatever you are most comfortable with. Personally, I always “forward sear” because I am less likely to accidentally overcook it or not be able to get the sear I want.

    dry brine, reverse sear, maybe kiss it with flames on a charcoal grill

    Butterfly, sear the inside, sous vide it then smoke and finally cast iron sear it. No seasoning.

    I say right sear. Left forward and reverse are never as good as a right sear

    The correct answer though is sous vide seasoned with salt and pepper for an hour at 115 and then finish in a pan with butter and smashed a couple or five garlic cloves and rosemary sprig. This way you lose absolutely nothing to the open grates of a grill.

    Sous vide, then sear on a chimney starter.

  12. Forward sear is a stupid saying. Stop adding words to things.

  13. Don’t you worry your pretty little head, give it to me. I’ll take care of it.

  14. I am always just so pleased with Reverse Sear. Keeps my amateur self from messing up something good

    Reverse sear is always champ for me…. Unless the steaks under an inch thick. I find you can’t get a decent sear without overcooking.

    What are you going to cook it on?

    I’m a just keep flipping fan myself (jess pryles champions this method) especially over a charcoal or wood fire.

    If using a pellet pooper just cook it then sear it.

    Get it done
