Agreed. I love the reverse sear but only do it on cuts that are at least 2 inches.

I go back and forth on cast iron vs carbon steel for pan cooked / basted. Dont have a definitive preference at this point. Guess ill just need to increase my n and figure it out.

I attempted to reverse sear a 1"+ steak last night. The result was a medium steak

I still ate it but was unhappy with every bite

How? did you not check temp?

in general its not the first part of the cook that messes with you on thin steaks. It is more that with a steak that thin, when you try to reverse sear, you cant then sear properly without overcooking the center. you could do part 1 of your cook to a lower temp to compensate, but then you end up with gradient, which defeats the purpose. Better off pan frying/basting or just searing first if you dont mind gradient (which i sometimes am in the mood for).

Snake River Farm wagyu ribeye. Saved some of the braising liquid from a batch of short ribs last week and reduced that with the mushrooms for the sauce. Umami bomb, take cover!

YouTube knows me way too well.

Me: Meh. I'm kind of busy.

Them: It's Jacques Pepin cooking steaks.

Me: ****.

Daughter insisted on having a "proper menu." She also made the bouquets.
