Comparing Reverse Sear Steak with Regular Method Cooked on Weber Kettle featuring Kosmos Q: Which One Reigns Supreme?

Introduction

Steak is one of the most popular dishes worldwide, and there are many different methods to prepare it. Some people prefer a reverse sear method while some others opt for the regular seared method. In this article, we’re going to compare the reverse sear steak with the regular method steak cooked on a Weber Kettle grill, featuring Kosmos Q. We’ll discuss the cooking process, seasoning, flavor, and appearance of both methods. So which one will reign supreme? Let’s find out!

The Cooking Process

First off, let’s discuss the cooking process for both methods. The reverse sear method involves cooking the steak slowly over low heat, then searing it over high heat at the end to create a crispy crust. The regular method involves searing the steak first over high heat, then finishing it off over low heat until it’s cooked to perfection. The reverse sear method takes longer, typically around an hour, while the regular method takes around 15-20 minutes.

Seasoning

For this experiment, we used Kosmos Q’s Dirty Bird Hot and Texas Friggin’ Beef rub to season both the reverse seared and regular seared steak. This seasoning contains a mix of spices that complement the natural flavor of the meat. We applied the seasoning generously to both sides of the steak before cooking.

Flavor and Appearance

Now let’s get into the most important part – flavor and appearance. The reverse seared steak had a lot of charcoal flavor and a great crust. It was cooked evenly throughout and had a tender, juicy texture. The regular seared steak, on the other hand, had an incredible crust and way more flavor. It had a rich, smoky flavor and a juicy interior.

In terms of appearance, the reverse seared steak had a more uniform color throughout, with a medium-rare center and a brown crust. The regular seared steak had a more pronounced gradient from the center to the edges, with a dark crust and a pinkish center.

Conclusion

So which method is better? It really depends on your personal taste preferences. The reverse seared steak is perfect for those who like a smoky, charcoal flavor and a tender texture. The regular seared steak, on the other hand, is perfect for those who like a bold, rich flavor and a crispy exterior. Both methods are great, so why not try them both and see which one you prefer?
