Get StartedWhich best describes the reverse‑sear method for cooking thick steaks?
Options:
- Slowly cook to near target internal temperature, then finish with a high‑heat sear
- Sear first at high heat, then finish slowly in the oven
- Boil the steak briefly, then sear to caramelize the exterior
- Sous‑vide the steak and do not sear afterwards
Correct answer: Slowly cook to near target internal temperature, then finish with a high‑heat sear
Explanation: Reverse searing means gently bringing a steak to near target internal temperature (often ~10–20°F under target), then applying a hot sear to form a crust; this two‑stage method improves uniform doneness.
