Reverse searing yields the most tender, juicy steak that’s nearly impossible to over-cook. 

Ingredients

  • 2 1 1/2-in.-thick bone-in rib-eye steaks, about 500 g each, at room temperature

  • 1 tsp salt

Instructions

  • PREHEAT 1 side of barbecue to medium-high (there should be no direct heat on the other half of the grill). Sprinkle both sides of steaks with salt. Season with pepper.

  • OIL grill. Place steaks on the no-heat side of grill. Insert a probe thermometer into the centre of 1 steak. Grill steaks, lid closed, until internal temperature reaches 105F for medium-rare, 20 to 23 min.

  • REMOVE thermometer and transfer steaks to other side of grill over direct heat. Increase heat to high. Sear steaks until grill marks form, about 2 min per side. Serve with chimichurri grilled potato salad.
