Reverse Sear Steak

Ingredients:

Ribeye Steak

Instructions:
■Pat dry and season the steak.
■Preheat the oven to 275 degrees Fahrenheit.
■Place a wire cooling rack on a cookie sheet then put the steak on the cooling rack. This allows hot air to circulate around the entire steak.
■Bake the steak until the internal temperature is 100-110 degrees.
■Drizzle a little oil in a pan over high heat. Just as the pan begins to smoke, drop the steak in the pan.
■Cook the steak for 2 minutes on each side.
