TODAY’S MAIN TOPIC: Reverse sear, what is it, why bother?
Reverse sear is a cooking technique that has gained popularity among home cooks and professional chefs alike. Unlike the traditional searing method, where the meat is seared first and then finished in the oven, the reverse sear takes a different approach. It involves slow cooking the meat at a low temperature in the oven until it reaches the desired internal temperature, and then searing it on high heat to create a beautifully caramelized crust. This method allows for even cooking throughout the meat, resulting in a perfectly cooked and tender texture. Moreover, reverse searing also provides more control over the doneness of the meat, making it an ideal technique for thicker cuts such as steaks and roasts. The reverse sear technique has revolutionized the way we cook meat, delivering consistent results and ensuring a memorable dining experience for all. I plan on using this method to cook our Christmas dinner, a reverse-seared tri-tip roast with whipped tallow and chive potatoes, peas, and Bordelaise sauce. Dessert will be Burnt Basque Cheesecake.
