I prefer the reverse sear just because I really like the smoky flavor it gets. Especially if you're using real wood. Also, really cool to see Guga make a cameo
I agree. A lightly smoked steak with a good sear is really good.
I agree, and if you want more of a sear you can just take if off earlier and/or run lower temps so you've got more headroom before it's overdone while still getting nice smoke flavor.
I totally agree.
My kids will only eat steak this way lol
I used to as well though. But I've smoked so many steaks. Just the other day I decided to switch it to and sear it over the fire first and then bring it to temp in my kamado and it turned out great. Think I'm going to stick with that for my go to and just mix in the smoked steak and the butter basted every once and awhile. Any way you cook it, steaks are great.
My 2 favorite bbq chefs/coaches/channels combined, what a treat! Cheers!
Add Guga to the mix, Triumvirate!
@@sigmablock guga was fun years ago, now he's just a boring channel who pixelates his mouth while eating lol wtf
Other than the seasoning, it was like watching a couple of amateurs in a backyard, really not knowing what exactly they were doing. They didn’t even know how to use the gas bbq like it was an unusual piece of cooking equipment
Wait...these 2 are supposed to be.. like..pros? I liked it bc they seemed like amateurs like most regular people😊
I think he said he pulled off the reverse sear at 122F, then commented it had a lighter sear than the traditional. My experience has been to go to sear closer to 115F. That little extra sear time plus doing a good dry brine in the fridge to dry the steak has been my favorite result. And I love having that smoke flavor on the steak, which reverse sear gives you the time for.
Same. I pull off between 110-115 and then sear. Never had an issue getting a nice sear this way.
The dry brine moreso allows the salt to penetrate than anything else, in my experience.
Yup, I pull mine at 110°
Just posted the same then saw this
I guess that kinda highlights the danger of a reverse sear. If you overshoot the temp on the smoke, it reduced the length of time and how hard you can sear, so you risk a diminished crust.
This was such a cool event! It was so awesome to meet you guys!!
An that little cameo of yours, truly took me by a pleasant surprise!!!
Your beef rib video is great!
Your cameo
🤯
If you want a darker sear with the reverse sear method increase the difference between the current internal temperature and your desired finishing temperature when you go to sear the steak either by: not bringing the internal temperature up so close to your desired finishing temperature to begin with or by resting the steak long enough after pulling it from your low heat source that it cools down and gives you a larger buffer between its current internal temp and your desired finishing temp.
This. If you rest for ~10min it’s basically impossible to cook the interior further during your sear.
Bam. Exactly right.
I will often put it in the freezer for 10 to lower the temp more rapidly (with sous vide, for example).
Agreed. Bit of a slip up but excellent video nonetheless.
Thanks for trying my method guys. Couple of notes from me - to be fair, I always promote the JKF for thinner steaks. For the size you cooked, i'd flip then finish indirect so you get an aggressive sear without the burning y'all experienced. Second - for my personal tastes, the crust (with all of its flavor compound development) is king. So I would have still chosen that one from your board. If you want me to cook it for you and show you how its done, and why it tastes better, just let me know ;)
Deal. When do you want to cook?
What a great reply. I love the "if you want me to show you how it's done" comment.

How amazing would that dirty dancing lion king hybrid be lol 😂
"That little guy? I wouldn't worry about that little guy" amazing reference
The banter is great in this video.
I love these videos with Brad from Chuds. Two of my favorite content creators on the interwebs.
When you guys went on the side by sides we stayed back and feasted on the scraps 🤣
Two of the best BBQ personalities on the tube killing it!
A+++ for the South Park Shake weight reference AND Tommy Boy board in the face bruise reference. 😂....... Also great steak video.
This is my favorite bromance in the universe.
great on screen chemistry you guys! really enjoyable, and felt like we were all there hanging out cooking some great steaks
I've been cooking steaks for 20+ years and I will always recommend the reverse sear method as the best method to cook a steak. It's just so much easier to get that edge to edge pink using that method.
It definitely is the best way to get edge-edge pink but what about flavor? I find the best flavor to be traditional but I do more of the just keep flipping method where the crust develops throughout the cook.
@@user-xh5pi2nf9q you can get the same flavor, and even do your same method with a reverse sear. You just have to let it wait longer on the rest.
That's the tricky part. Patience. 🤣
But don't you only get a uniform colour if your heat source is at the same temp as your desired target temp? If it's higher, it's just going to cook the meat more the further you get from the center... never used a gas grill though so no idea if that's possible (probably actually easier than with a coal/wood fire now that I think about it).
I mean sure, if you want to go sous vide. But, you can get MOSTLY wall to wall medium rare by just keeping the temp real low. Say, 200-250. Let it come up to temp over almost an hour. It especially helps if you let it sit outside your fridge while you build the fire. That way the inside isnt 37 degrees while the outside is 102.
You can do a steak in the oven nice and low and get ALMOST exactly the same outcome (color wise) as sous vide if you do it right. Then just let it rest (so you don't take it PAST whatever your target it) and then sear it over 500+.
@@firghteningtruth7173 Sounds good!
Guga!!!!! My man!!!! 😎🥩🙏 it’s like all my favourite meat people in one place!
Love the Tommy Boy reference 🤣
Between channels like this and a desire. I’ve been cooking food that rivals eating out. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
i love the just keep flipping method.. nice when you are hanging out by the grill and have some drinks going.
“Splits into its ions” lol
I love how Bradley is always so ready to burst into song 🤣
These collab videos are so awesome.
Two favorite BBQ channels and I live in Utah. Get it!!! Why didn't I know about this.
Man we need more of these collabs.
Oh no, there's a bonus 3" thick bone-in rib eye. Great line
What’s up fellas…been waiting on a hot and fast brisket cook on a stick burner! I can’t be the only one ! … y’all keep smokin.
Ain’t gunna Monday morning QB you guys. They all looked great to me. Appreciate you guys doing and sharing experiment with us. Respect
Man favorite chefs where there.The two of you. Guga and Hey Girl. Wow!!! The only ones missing is AB and Malcom.
Bout to break the bbq internet with this one
Fun episode. Great collabs!!!
My mouth is literally watering
I just discovered Chuds BBQ last week and now I am seeing Brad everywhere!
"A tasty way to spend the day" what a bad ass thing to say!
Love these collab's with Chuds!!!
This reminded me of the South Park episode where all the viral video people met up. CHOCOLATE RAIN!
Extreme dad jokes times two!!
You 2 have great chemistry. I love the personalities!
Nothing like a good super troopers reference
Another awesome colab
Great video. Used to be all traditional sear, but have learned to love reverse sear over the past couple of years.
I have never done a reverse sear but looking to add to my game! The question is, does a reverse sear taste better? I am currently exploring charcoal BBQing.
You 2 beauties together .....I could watch that for hours and hours
Loved the guga reference lol
The whirring in the bg at 4:43 I thought was one of the hosts going “Uhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmm” lol
My four main food UA-camrs I follow are all in this video. Nice!
I love how Brad is SOOO impressed with the pellets at 5:25
Dang! What a beautiful place to do some grilling. Can't get much better than that.
9:55 The guga quote!
Picked up a load of grills from Camp Chef in Utah headed to Academy in TX. Good ppl
No canopy? Ya’ll look like you be baking in that sun. 🥵
Love it when two of my favorite UA-camrs create content together. Great video, guys.
Jeremy dropping that BBQ Central podcast "do it live?" lol all the Easter eggs.
Great experiment. Love seeing you guys together!
When I pan-fry, I use olive oil as a binder, S&P as a rub. I preheat the pan at the highest temp, sear both sides for 2 and a half minutes, the edges for a minute. I reduce the burner to low, flip the steak every minute while adding butter, garlic etc… Pull at 125…
Lol you guys work good together! Funny
I appreciate the Super Troopers reference. 😂
Love your guys collaboration. need more 🙏
Thank you for the super troopers reference! Love you guys!
Love this channel so much and I've learned so much that I use ever weekend in our family but I think it's worth mentioning that the US palate is way more fond of salt than many other countries I've personally visited. If you don't love salt - that's also ok.
Snake in my boot! Chuds is badass!
Psyched for a Guga Collab baby!!!
Let's Dowih!!
I've been a reverse sear guy for thicker steaks, and a JKF for thinner steaks. I think, after this, im gonna reverse sear, get smoke on my thick steaks, but start searing at an earlier internal temp to really get a hard sear on the steak.
Cool. This is where I live. Fun to see sand hollow as a back drop for your video
It's simple - you see Brad you smile. His positive energy is infectious.
Chud nailed the opening tune
This a hoot to watch. Having watched a bunch of Chud lately, the stark contrast between their demeanors is interesting. Both are talented, but Chud's usual energy, damn the torpedoes, FULL SPEED AHEAD is infectious. "Smells like pellets..." HAHAHAHA!
I like Guga hanging out in the background! And the affirmation just grill your steak, no funny business.
“I know it doesn’t look that good right now…” reference acknowledged.
I guess I’m the only one that noticed whoever sang in the beginning has an amazing voice
Always good when you guys are collabing! Great video as always
"I know it doesn´t look that good right now"... I know what you did there, Chudboy... By the way, the chemistry you guys have, is amazing. So much fun...but anyway, how not getting fun cooking some good steaks, eh?!?
frozen… Americas test kitchen did an experiment and found the best way is to high heat sear first then bring up to temp. So pan then oven or direct then offset. it’s the best way to keep the juices and you get the best crust!
I love the reverse sear method on the smoker. I just pull the steak at 120 to 125 and let rest with compound butter until back down to 110 then the smoker is up to sear temp and sear til 129 and it's done. Tender juicy, smokey, and nice crust too
“From Texas” lol
Great video, Loved the tommy boy reference :)
Love camp chef and love Utah
I always get a kick out of seeing you two together.
I don't think myself or anyone I've ever met has had a steak cut that thick.
I did once! It was still on the cow
I'm so sorry to hear that.
May God someday bless you with a fat ass tomahawk. Peace be with thee. Amen.
LOL 😆, well I think a lot of us have had cuts that thick if not a bit thicker when it comes to porterhouse steak. C'mon guys and gals back me up on this! 🥩🔥🔥
@@apexcustomsmokers I’m not going to lie it looked amazing but still I could off fed my boy with beef sandwiches all week with that 🤣
Srf steaks are thick like that. A ribeye tomahawk is definitely and delmonico is almost. If you are into steaks and for a special occasion it’s worth it. Who would reverse sear one inch or less thick or even sear a little steak haha.
So is this that top secret camp chef smoker from that event 😳 looks pretty cool!
Great video! Loved the comparisons... I wonder if using clarified butter (or ghee) with the 'just keep flipping' method would have avoided the bitter/burnt flavor (It looked like the butter was burning on the flat top).
The bitter/burnt taste is probably from the pepper getting scorched.
Very true, if butter ghee or clarified butter is not available, I'd use canola oil. or something similar One can always add butter at the end for flavor if desired. They also ruined
the reverse sear steak, by pulling it too late from the heat before searing. They cooked the traditional sear steak properly, and they liked that one the best. These two chaps are
better at smoking then in grilling.
Love you Guy's Follow you both an have learned Alot.Oh an Guga to.
Great video, beautiful location and 2 honest BBQ ambassadors. Thanks for the Super Troopers reference, this is how my friends and I do it too! I've got a 11.5 brisket on my Daniel Boon GMG going right now.
Solid collaboration gents. Love to see the tubers together.
Brad sounds soooooo excited about those “char-cherry?” Pellets 🙄😂
Thanks guys for another great video. I just smoked a bone-in ribeye roast using my Weber Kettle with a Slow and Sear assembly. I kept the kettle temperature just around 250 degrees and the internal meat temperature hit 130 degrees when I took it off. Everyone was raving about the meat. However, after watching this video I realized I have a lot to learn about how to cut/present the perfect cut. I was trying the old Prime Rib cut from the Casino restaurant. You guys didn't do that. Please make a video on what to do.
My way to do it perfect: using aluminium sear grates, infrarot thermometer for the grilling surface and thermapen for the meat. Youst like all the champions at every steak grilling contest. Cheers !
Great comparison Jeremy, Was cool that Guga got in there also.
Such a good video. 3 of my favorite cooks
Super Troopers reference? Yeah, subscribed. Meow.
I’ve had 2 amazing grills in a row for steak. I use Charbroil grills. I have no problem at all getting my grill to 650-700 degrees. 4-1/2 minutes on each side, and a little longer maybe 5 minutes for really thick ribeyes. They are amazing, far better than any restaurant I’ve ever tried. I use kosher salt, ground pepper and onion powder. NOT GARLIC. The onion powder only makes the steak’s flavor pop, but doesn’t taste like onion. When done, Input a few pieces of real butter on them and rest for 5 minutes. BEST FOOD I’VE EVER EATEN!
Brads Guga impression😂
*There’s a reason the “reverse sear” exists. Not sure what it is, but that crust/bark/browning sure is beautiful.*
Best Idea is to beg your way over to Guga's place for a steak. I've been unsuccessful, but someday Ill get to try a Guga steak!
"I know it doesn't look that good right now"~I see what you did there xD
Love learning new things. I never tried resting the steak on reverse searing before searing. I have always just dropped straight into an iron skillet and rest at the end.
OMG. This guy sounds exactly like the brother in 50 first dates.
Thanks for another great video!!!
Brad's all over the place these days, looks good 🥾🐍🇺🇸
middle sear - low and slow until about 70F to drive off moisture, sear to desired crust, finish low and slow to hit exact target doneness.
I’ve been using the JKF method for a year on a BGE with 1”ish prime ribeyes for the local discount club. I flip every 30 seconds for 9 or so minutes until it hit 115°, rest for 5m and carryover takes it to 130°. Caveats to this method; if the cooking temp gets above 600° it burns and the thicker the steak the lower the cooking temp should be. For a roast like they cooked 500° would probably be best.
