Help me not screw up my steak… Login/Join

Daaaayammmn. 4 inches is a thick steak. I have a MEATER thermometer that I can just leave in for reverse sears. It took a while for my wife to warm up to the reverse sear since she liked the more traditional method in the past. I'd bring it up a bit higher maybe 115/120 and then sear 30 seconds per side if I was just winging it.

Updated with pics…(and the obligatory quarter!)
My apologies if these photos are huge. The Flickr app does not give you the bbs embed codes so I had to do it off of their website, from my iPad.

I'm late to the game, but I'll chime in.

I don't have an outdoor grill so I do everything in the kitchen.

I put some butter in a pan to keep the smoke down. Enough butter that it doesn't burn off. Get some nice color on all sides.

Put an oven probe in the thickest part. Put the steak in my Breville toaster over at 210-220 degrees. I like 135-140 degrees, mainly because the steaks we get at Trader Joe's don't really benefit being on the rare side.

A nice butcher's cut? I'll go 125-130.

No one here mentioned sous vide...

My "go to" for these situations is to pregame with the sous vide, keep it sealed, chill and then finish as you did on fire/grill (or skillet).

We do it for camping, traveling, and guests.

Stupid thick steaks cooked perfect every time.
