How to Reverse Sear a Grass Fed Steak

May 6, 2021

Are you on a quest to cook the perfect steak with a method that’s quick, easy, and delicious? Search no further, because we’ve got your answer: reverse searing.

Reverse searing is a method of cooking steak that starts in the oven and ends in a hot pan. This method is ideal because it combines the gentle, even heat of your oven and the intense, direct heat of a hot pan. In the end, you get an evenly cooked steak with a nice crust and hearty flavor—without the danger of overcooking.

Watch and learn how to do it!

How to Slice Steaks Against the Grain

Take a close look at your steaks, ideally before they’re cooked. The grains (or fibers) of the meat will be running in one direction. Once cooked, you’ll want to slice against, or perpendicular to the grains. This breaks up the muscle fibers and provides perfectly tender bites of steak.
