I am a die-hard 'sear first, bring up to temperature' steak griller. It's easy and works very well. It just seems to me (guessing) that bringing up to temperature first and searing second is a bit trickier as the sear process would be less easy to judge, and more prone to over or undershooting the internal temp,. Will be sticking with what has worked great. Very interesting video - had never heard of reverse-searing.
Another great video, Tom, thank you. When I started grilling steaks, I was doing the reverse sear because of all the UA-cam hype surrounding the method. I pretty quickly figured out that it was a giant guessing game as to the internal temp at which I needed to start searing . . . but even more importantly, the internal temp changes QUICKLY when you are at searing temps. I overcooked a lot of steaks, as things are just moving too quickly. I finally realized that the sear-first method would eliminate these issues . . . and still give me a perfectly good steak. Less hassle, less stress, more good food. 😎
Glad my video helped. The reverse sear method can give you sous vide like consistency and even cooking if you watch the temps carefully and sear it at the perfect moment. The regular sear first method is much more convenient and still gets great results. At the end of the day, it’s all about good food and good people. Cheers
Glad you enjoyed it! My voice is softer these days mostly because we have a baby in the house. My son just turned 6 months old and the only time I really have to shoot videos is after the kids are asleep lol.
Nice video !! It may help me understand better how to Sear my Steak seeing you do the Reverse Sear method 😅 Where I live, I usually find thinner steaks that are difficult to sear without overcook when you're a beginner like me ! So I was afraid to have too high temperature and overcook trying to have a nice crust ! And seeing the Reverse Sear made me realize that I can Sear with an already cook steak ! I'll try up the heat to see how fast I can sear before lowing the heat to finish cooking 🤷♂️ Ooh and the blind tasting was a great idea !! Thank you for your videos 😁
Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed the video. For thinner steaks, I tend to do the sear first method because often after searing the steaks are at my desired internal temps. I usually only do the reverse sear method on steak 1 1/2 thick or thicker.

Im glad you enjoyed it. Sear first seems to work well for you. That’s all that mattered at the end of the day. Happy grilling

Great video as usual. And your voice is very relaxing.. quite the opposite of most videos where almost everyone seems to be shouting 🤣

As long as it tastes good, I don't care how it is made. 😁
Exactly!
Nice.
