REVERSE-SEAR RIBEYE STEAK



Reverse-Sear Ribeye Steak image

In 2001, I started playing with the idea of reverse-searing, or slow-cooking beef first, then searing to finish. Initially, I tried it on a standing rib roast and not only did the technique produce an evenly done interior and great sear, it didn't smoke up the kitchen nearly as bad as the traditional sear-first method. Does this work on steak? Anyone with a food blog these days knows darn well it does. As for sauce, this steak don't need no stinkin' sauce - but if you happen to have some of my compound herb butter on hand, that wouldn't be bad. Note: A proper probe thermometer has a control base with a readout, a long metal cable and a long, sharp probe that goes into the food and remains throughout cooking. Typically, the base will have a temperature alarm that can be set to go off when a target temperature is reached.This recipe first appeared in Season 1 of Good Eats: Reloaded.

Time 7h30m

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 (1 1/2-inch thick) boneless ribeye steak, about 14 ounces
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoon peanut oil

Steps:

  • Season steak on both sides with the salt and place on a rack set inside a rimmed sheet pan. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or up to 24.
  • Heat oven to 200ºF. Insert a probe thermometer horizontally through the side of the steak and roast, still on the rack and sheet pan, until it reaches an internal temperature of 120ºF, about 1 hour. Remove steak from the oven and rest, uncovered, for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place a 12-inch cast iron skillet over high heat until it reaches at least 600ºF, at least 10 minutes. (If you don't have an infrared thermometer, you'll know you're close when 1/2 teaspoon water dropped in the middle of the pan has completely evaporated in 5 seconds.
  • Brush a very light coat of peanut oil onto both sides of the steak. Transfer to the hot skillet and sear on each side until deeply browned, 45 seconds per side. Use a stopwatch!
  • Transfer to a clean rack and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice diagonally against the grain to serve.

2 large bone-in rib-eyes, at room temperature
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
2 tablespoons canola or grapeseed oil
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter

Steps:

Tips:

  • Choosing the right steak: Look for a ribeye steak that is at least 1 inch thick and has good marbling. The marbling will help the steak stay juicy and flavorful during cooking.
  • Seasoning the steak: Keep the seasoning simple with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste.
  • Cooking the steak: The key to a perfectly cooked ribeye steak is to reverse sear it. This means cooking the steak at a low temperature in the oven first, then finishing it off in a hot skillet. This method will help the steak cook evenly and prevent it from becoming tough.
  • Checking the steak for doneness: Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the steak. For a medium-rare steak, the internal temperature should be 135 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Resting the steak: Once the steak is cooked, let it rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the steak, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Reverse searing is a great way to cook a ribeye steak. This method produces a steak that is cooked evenly, juicy, and flavorful. With a little practice, you can master the art of reverse searing and enjoy perfectly cooked ribeye steaks at home.
