Reverse sear on the Wsm
« on: March 05, 2020, 04:48:29 PM »
Had to stay a extra night out of town for work so I went to grab something to grill this evening. Luck  would have it  , sale on some really nice and thick porterhouses. Seasoned with Killer Hogs Ap and onto the Wsm with a couple small oak chunks at 275. Probed it in the filet side and pulled at 120 with the intentions to let rest and sear on the JJ. Laziness sat  in and I decided to use the Wsm. Pulled the middle section off and let the air stoke the coals while the steak rested . Seared 2 minutes a side and pulled it. Little more char than I normally go for but it still tastes great. Can’t believe after all these years cooking with Wsm ‘s this is my first time doing this.

Damn!  Awesome sear on that!  Very nicely done. That’s a piece of steak art

Some of my finest work has come about from not doing what I had originally intended! Plus you saved yourself some time!

Correct me if I'm wrong.

The steak was seared with the middle section in place but with no pan/deflector...Direct heat but with a greater distance tween the coals and the meat...

If so.....I like it...

I threw a grate right over the charcoal that was in the ring. I removed the middle section so the remaining coals would get hot while the steak rested.

OK thanks.That makes sense.

I was intrigued by the idea of a high heat/ long distance sear. Might need to give this a try.

sure if you used the bottom rack and got a good fire going you could get a good sear . Maybe worth trying ?
