    I do this at home. It works pretty well though there are pros and cons. For home cooking you usually have to wait a bit for the oil to heat up high enough and depending on the thickness it takes about 2-3 mins on each side like on a grill. The only issue is size. Most home woks aren't as big as restaurant ones so it isn't wide enough for even sear especially if its a ribeye or t-bone where the bone prevents the meat from touching the oil or bottom. You definitely use way more oil or butter then on a large steel pan. Though one other thing I notice is that you have a lesser chance of burning the oil or steak on a wok.

      nosispower 140,000 with jet burners. The specialized hk wok I think had 210,000. It’ll burn a house down in nothing flat considering the needed ventilation the rafters will begin to rattle. Perhaps an outdoor station being fed with one inch gas lines and clearance of seven feet around the wok might work. Really I ain’t a fan of oil fried steaks. Too greasy and the oil will just roll over the beef flavor.

    Just so people know. You need a stovetop that has a flame of 100,000 BTUs in order for this to work. Assuming that you do not have that, I have found that if you want that same sear acquired from the wok, then the only way is to use a method besides direct heat, reverse sear, souls vide, etc.,. Afterwards chill it completely in your refrigerator, preferably on your lowest temp. setting, then turn your home burner up and let a cast iron, stainless steel doesn’t retain heat well enough here, skillet preheat for at least 3 minutes or until 1 mil of water evaporates in under 10 seconds. Finally sear your steak. The steak being cold allows for you to let it stay longer in a pan.
    Edit: I also recommend before placing your steak in the fridge put salt on line to dry the outside completely. Of course this does mean you must not salt it before the soups vide/reverse sear.

    • @briangleason5597

      What about a bonfire, with grill in the middle, and a shovel to stir meat in wok.

    • @tateduran9255
      @tateduran9255 4 роки тому +2

      Chilling your meat like that means the meat will be overcooked on the outside and almost raw on the inside. Not like a sear that would probably be worse.

    • @copywrite9396
      @copywrite9396 4 роки тому +2

      Brian Gleason, that’s a great idea, and if you can do it go for it. However, I would advise from using a shovel, probably long metal chopsticks would be your best choice.
      If you check out Alex French Guy Cooking he has a mini series on using a chimney starter to get enough heat.
