Reverse Sear
« on: September 02, 2017, 11:41:38 AM »

How long do you Smoke for & at what temp or do you smoke to an internal temp. What temp do you set your Memphis at when you reverse sear? Or do you set to F1,F2 or F3. I have never reverse seared before so was wondering what method other Memphis users are using.

I only do half the process.  I usually cook the steak on 250 on the Elite for about 45-60 minutes.

Do you just cook your steak over your direct flame insert with high heat?

Mine was like one of the 1st Memphis Pro's...no inserts for my 2010 model.  But yes, I am a traditionalist and my ways/style die hard!  Set MP at 650°, 2 minutes flip and 45°, I do that 3 more times.  By then the steak is usually 105-110°.  I flip one last time, I stick the Maverick probe in the middle of the steak, I shut the pit off and in about 2-3 minutes the temp is 125° and it gets pulled...buy the time it gets to the table it has rested 3-4 minutes and it is 130-135° and I am golden!

Just a true seared steak cooked with hardwood!  You all with those inserts, that is sweet stuff, a true Hardwood Grilled Steak!

Well I ended not doing the reverse sear. I cooked over the direct flame for about 7-8mins per side. Turned out great.

Typically with a thick Costco Steak I sear at 600° without the Direct Flame Insert.
2.5 minutes then rotate 90° for another 2.5 minutes to get the cross-hatch sear marks.  Flip for another 4-6 depending on how they like it.  I usually do mine for a total of 10 and it comes out medium to medium rare.  Have found it is great to do the veggies the last 5 minutes on the upper rack.  Usually beans or asparagus.

Was thinking of trying a reverse sear on my next steak cook.  Have never done it.

I like to reverse sear if I'm doing really thick steaks, or pork loin or chops. But I don't use a single grill because it takes too long for the Memphis to get from low-and-slow to max sear temp. So I will smoke around 225 until the piece gets to 5-10 degrees on desired final IT, and then finish on either my preheated gasser or cast iron pan. For steaks 1" or less, direct flame on the Memphis.

Tried reverse searing a boneless ribeye a while back.
150F until IT of 120, then seared, rested then devoured. Was very happy with the outcome, even though I completely underestimated the cook time.
