STEAK TEST, Sear vs Reverse Sear | Can You Taste The Difference

In this video, I'll go over the reverse sear vs sear method and why I think choosing one method over the other to cook the best steak is subjective. I'll test each cooking method out and do a steak test to see if anyone could actually taste a difference. Does the reverse method give you a tender, juicer, more flavorful, and better steak?

I am a die-hard 'sear first, bring up to temperature' steak griller. It's easy and works very well. It just seems to me (guessing) that bringing up to temperature first and searing second is a bit trickier as the sear process would be less easy to judge, and more prone to over or undershooting the internal temp, . Will be sticking with what has worked great. Very interesting video - had never heard of reverse-searing.

Great video as usual. And your voice is very relaxing.. quite the opposite of most videos where almost everyone seems to be shouting 🤣

Another great video, Tom, thank you. When I started grilling steaks, I was doing the reverse sear because of all the YouTube hype surrounding the method. I pretty quickly figured out that it was a giant guessing game as to the internal temp at which I needed to start searing . . . but even more importantly, the internal temp changes QUICKLY when you are at searing temps. I overcooked a lot of steaks, as things are just moving too quickly.
I finally realized that the sear-first method would eliminate these issues . . . and still give me a perfectly good steak. Less hassle, less stress, more good food. 😎

Nice video !! It may help me understand better how to Sear my Steak seeing you do the Reverse Sear method 😅
Where I live, I usually find thinner steaks that are difficult to sear without overcook when you're a beginner like me ! So I was afraid to have too high temperature and overcook trying to have a nice crust !
And seeing the Reverse Sear made me realize that I can Sear with an already cook steak ! I'll try up the heat to see how fast I can sear before lowing the heat to finish cooking 🤷‍♂️
Ooh and the blind tasting was a great idea !!
Thank you for your videos 😁

As long as it tastes good, I don't care how it is made. 😁
