The reverse sear has recently gained popularity over the regular sear and for good reason. It's just a great way to cook a thick steak to a perfect internal temperature while keeping a full-flavored char crust on the outside. It might take a little longer than a regular sear but the resulting smoky, tender meat with a deliciously crunchy crust is worth the time. It's important to let your meat rest once it is done cooking. This gives your T-Bone the opportunity for the juices to rest and thicken as it cools. If you cut into a hot steak the juice will pour out everywhere.
