How to Reverse Sear the Perfect Steak
The perfect steak starts with the perfect cut...ask for meat with a marbled fat distribution and approximately 1" thick. The fat acts as a natural tenderizer while cooking and will keep the meat moist and juicy.
-
Preheat your grill to low, about 300°F.
-
Butter and season your steak with your favorite spices and salt.
-
Insert a digital meat thermometer, like Napoleon's Wireless Meat Thermometer, and place the steak over indirect heat.
-
Cook for 20 to 40 minutes with the lid down, until the meat reaches a temperature of 125°F internally.
-
Remove the steak and allow it to rest for 5 to 15 minutes. While it's resting, preheat your Infrared SIZZLE ZONE™, or preheat your grill to high, about 500°F.
-
Once rested, place the steak over direct heat and sear for a minute.
-
Turn the steak 45° and sear or another minute before flipping.
-
Repeat the sear and turn on the other side of the steak.
You may now serve immediately because you have already rested the steak prior to searing.
