Reverse searing steak is a really fun way to get creative with your steak. This works great for thicker cuts of steak that would normally take a long time to cook through, and since you’re cooking it in the oven first, you’re getting a really nice even temperature throughout before searing in all that deliciousness. 

Ingredients 

  • 1 ribeye, New York strip, filet mignon, or porterhouse steak, 1 1/2-2 inches thick 
  • Kosher salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil 
  • 1 tablespoon of butter 

Recipe

  1. Put aluminum foil on a sheet pan and put a wire rack on top. Dry the steak and season generously and put on the rack. 
  2. Put the rack into a 275 F oven on the middle rack, and in the lower one, put a cast-iron skillet. 
  3. Cook for 15-25 minutes depending on how done you like your steak, then take out the skillet and steak. 
  4. Over medium-high heat, heat up the oil in the skillet and when it starts to smoke, put in the steak. 
  5. Sear for 2 minutes on the first side, put in the butter, and baste the other side. 
  6. Cook the fatty sides of the steak too, then take the steak out, let it rest for 5-10 minutes, and slice away.
