Steak Butter:

  • 250 grams of Good NZ butter

  • ½ cup finely chopped flat leaf parsley
  • ¼ cup finely chopped sage
  • ¼ cup finely chopped tarragon

Method

  1. The Four Saucemen Steak Reverse Sear Method
  2. Set your Barbecue up for indirect cooking at 107°C with two pieces of smoking wood. We used Pohutukawa in our BBQ Class.
  3. Always cook beef from room temp. Apply a thin layer of olive oil to seal and apply a fine layer of The Four Saucemen The Beef Rub 10 minutes prior to grilling.
  4. Once your Barbecue has reached a stable 107°C place steak in the middle of the grill. Turn every 10 minutes. Use your i-phone timer on vibrate in your pocket. Makes you look like a pro.
  5. Every steak is different in cook time. If the steak is 6cm thick it will take approx. 45-50mins to come up to med-rare temp. For Rare 115-49°C internal temp. 125-54°C med rare. 57°C Medium. We don’t cook past medium so don’t ask! The reverse sear method is best with steak thicker than 3cm. This is for scotch fillet/rib eye.
  6. Once the desired internal temp has been reached, remove from The Barbecue and rest, foil tented over not wrapped.
  7. Adjust your BBQ to direct grill and increase the heat. If you have cast iron or Grill Grates pre heat them now. Once hot, place your steaks on the grill for 1 minute per side. Turning at 30 secs to get the diamond shape marks. Place the steak butter on top to melt into the steak while resting. Season with the The White rub. Serve whole or sliced with a great bottle of red!

Reverse Sear Steak: the questions

What internal temperature for a medium-rare steak?

Pull it from the indirect side around 50°C to 52°C, sear hard, and it will rest up to medium-rare at 54°C to 57°C. Rare is 49°C to 52°C, medium 60°C to 63°C.

Why reverse sear?

Cooking the steak slowly first brings the whole thickness up evenly, so there is no grey band under the crust. The sear at the end is for the bark and takes a minute a side.
