This recipe for Reverse Sear Steak guarantees a tender and delicious steak and with a correct internal cooking temperature every time.
I love the experience of eating at a high end steak house. Here in Cincinnati, Jeff Ruby’s is the best. But I also pride myself on being able to cook a restaurant quality steak in my own home. The key is baking the steaks at a low temperature until they reach your desired level of doneness – for me that’s a medium cook. Then quickly searing the outside of the steak in a bit of butter to finish. This method for Reverse Sear Steak will work for any cut of steak. But if I’m going all out on steak at home, I personally prefer thick-cut filet mignon.
