Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!
Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!
Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.
So, how’s it going?
Yes literally just the reverse of what you do! Cook it to temp in the oven or bbq, then sear it on a hot pan or fire for a nice crust. Supposedly much more even doneness and no need to rest the steak after cooking. So I cooked them to an internal temp of 46c then took them out, built up the fire to get it really hot and seared them a couple mins to get a nice crust.
However my bbq was a bit too hot so it wasn’t as slow cooked in the first part. Usually if I want really perfect doneness, I would sous vide them then sear, but with cuts with a larger bits of fat, I find sous vide doesn’t render it as nicely.
Interesting, I’ll have to give this a go. Thanks for bringing it to my attention!
They do say it’s better for thick cut steaks, 1.5-2 inches ideally. I don’t know how well it would work for the thin ones supermarkets usually sell
I have a lovely supply of quality home kill so pretty much never buy beef 🙂
Lucky! I just try to buy big cuts when they’re on sale and slice them up myself so I get them to the size I like.
Yeah, Im a relatively recent convert to the reverse sear world, and it’s been getting me really consistently great results so far. As said, quite easy to get the doneness exact. Does take a bit of time though, so you do have to plan it ahead somewhat.
