Cast iron not only holds all that heat really well, even after laying the steak down, but it will give a fantastic, consistent sear to your steak. To get the Maillard reaction you need a screaming hot pan. An important tool you need to know the temperature your steak is at before bringing it to the hot pan when it's done in the oven.
Lining it with foil makes for easy clean up. Also called a cookie sheet, make sure you have a rimmed baking sheet to catch any rendered fat. This helps the air flow around all sides of your steak, ensuring proper temperatures and dryness of every side, which will help you get a great sear.
While in the oven the steak sits on a wire rack over a foil-lined baking sheet. Reverse searing is easy so long as you have the right tools, all of which you can find on Amazon: As long as you have all the tools needed, it is more affordable than my other favorite foolproof steak method: the sous-vide.Speaking of the oven, it helps dry out the exterior of the steak so when you sear it in the pan, the Maillard Reaction -the many simultaneous chemical reactions happening between amino acids, proteins, and sugars in food when you heat them up causing the distinct flavor found in browned foods- gives you that nice browned, flavorful crust.inside while minimizing the overcooked grey ring thanks to slow roasting in the oven. And cooking over high heat by itself can lead to a burnt outside and raw inside! Stabbing it with a thermometer while it's cooking in a hot pan will run all the juices out, leaving it dry. Besides the steak still cooking once it's off high heat (called carryover cooking) it also is hard to determine the actual temperature inside while you're cooking just in the pan. You are able to control the temperature much more easily than just cooking the steak in the pan.You don't have to rest the steak, since searing on the skillet is so quick it doesn't affect the internal juices and protein stands.
