7 steps to reverse sear a steak
If you’ve ordered from Grass Roots, you’ll receive flash frozen, grass-fed steaks, which we recommend defrosting in the fridge. Once defrosted, let the steak come to room temperature (~30 minutes) before cooking.
Preheat the oven to 250°F (120°C). Place the steak on a wire rack over a baking sheet and season it with salt and pepper.
Cook the steak in the oven until it reaches 125-130°F for medium rare. Use a meat thermometer for best results.
Remove the steak from the oven. Let it rest for 10-15 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
While the meat is resting, heat up a cast-iron skillet on high heat. When fully heated, add a small amount of olive oil to the skillet.
Place your steak in the hot skillet for 1-2 minutes. You’ll see a crust form on the outside. Use tongs to flip the steak and sear the other side for another 1-2 minutes.
Remove the steak from the heat and let it rest for a few more minutes before serving.
