First time trying the reverse freeze method

Picked up two 9-oz prime filets today from a local butcher shop. They were roughly 1 3/4” thick, and I don’t own a sous vide of any variety, so I decided to try out reverse freezing this steak to get a good wall to wall med-rare.

I left the meat sitting out on the counter, wrapped in butcher paper for 2 hours, then threw it in the freezer for 30 minutes right before cooking to chill the outside while keeping the inside relatively close to room temp. I gave it a healthy dose of salt and pepper on each side, seared for 3 minutes on high heat each side in a neutral oil, cooked in the oven at 350 for 11 minutes, then rested for 7 minutes under some foil on this plate. After searing, I introduced some garlic and rosemary to the mix while everything finished in the oven.

Served it up with roasted asparagus and potatoes and paired with a 2016 Tannat wine from Uruguay. This was a big hit, and I’ll definitely be trying this method again in the future.

Reverse Seared Prime Ribeye

Think this is the best crust I’ve gotten in the stainless steel pan and man I can say that beat the $80 ribeye I got at a steakhouse a month ago. Made a delicious butter to dip it in and I was in heaven.
