About this video
When it comes to cooking steak there's a lot of ways to get it done and there really is no wrong answer. Well, unless youβre using your dishwasher to sous vide, weβd avoid that one.
Thereβs the classic two-zone cook over charcoal or the nuanced broil sear cook of steakhouses like Peter Lugers but there are ultimately two basic techniques that often get people picking sides.
The modern reverse sear and the trusted forward sear.
Each uses the same instruments to cook: a burner, a pan, and an oven.
However, it's the timing and order that make these styles end up with completely different results.
Check out the video to find out why!
