So, I just turned 25. I'm not much of a cook but I can do simple stuff like omelettes/french toast/tacos etc...
I've been wanting to get more into cooking. Doesn't have to be healthy, but for someone who normally orders out more often than I'm proud to admit, I want to save some cash.
Only steak I've ever made was simply on a grill.
I'm wanting to try a different way & have been seeing some panseared then into the oven type ways of doing things.
I guess I'm just wondering what's best and what brand/cut I should be getting to attempt this.
Also if you have a recipe or something with seasonings etc I'd love to delve into that rather than just plain.
Thanks for your help lads!!
I'm a huge fan of reverse searing, to be honest. I spoiled myself and bought a wood pellet grill, but this method works quite well on a charcoal grill as well. Set up indirect heat and toss a cold (not brought up to room temp) steak on the grill away from the coals. I prefer porterhouse for this, but the again, I prefer porterhouse for most steak grilling. Use coarse salt and fresh ground pepper. Feel free to have a spray bottle of water on hand for this type of grilling, which you can spritz the meat if it appears to be drying.
Moist surfaces help the smoke infuse the meat better. You'll need about 45-60 minutes of indirect heat (assuming you can maintain about 225F) for a typical supermarket cut of meat, then move over the coals for direct heat searing to finish. This method has produced the best steaks I've ever had.
