Reverse Seared Steak Cooking Method

I love steak, but cooking it perfectly can be tricky. I have found that the reverse seared method for cooking steak is the best way to get a tender and juicy bite with the most beautiful and flavorful crust. It also helps when you have a gorgeous cut of steak with the right amount of fat marbled throughout.

What to Look for When Buying a Steak

You are going to get the best flavor, texture and tenderness when you purchase high quality meat. I like to get my steaks from Greensbury Market. Their beef is organic, grass fed, non-GMO, hormone free and comes from local US farms. Each cut is selected by their butcher, hand-trimmed, and flash frozen to ensure the best quality. My two favorite cuts to use for this method is NY Strip Steak and Ribeye. Use code BETTEREDBLONDIE to save money on your purchase!

Must Haves for Cooking the Reverse Sear Method

You have to have a Cast Iron Skillet for this method. It can get extremely hot, but not only that, it heats up evenly. It is one of the most valuable items in my kitchen and they are very affordable.

For reverse seared steak method, you will want a good Meat Thermometer . This way you can ensure that you are getting the exact right temperature for your desired doneness.

I use a Baking Sheet with an oven safe baking rack for this method. I always line it with Foil for easy cleanup.
