How to Reverse Sear a Steak

There’s no substitute for a good grilled steak. Cooked to perfection over hot coals, on a gas grill, or even over a campfire, it’s one of the simplest yet most impactful staples of a Primal diet. But steak is also more complicated than you think. There’s a lot that goes into preparing the perfect steak, from choosing the ideal cut to marinating, searing, and cooking it to the right temperature—all while keeping the meat moist, tender, and juicy.

While there are plenty of different paths to a juicy steak, we discovered one that you might not have considered: a mayo (or whipped spread) coat. Mayo on steak makes it extra tender and moist. Slather your cut of meat with a liberal dose of Whip Dressing & Spread before cooking and all of those rich, meaty juices will be retained throughout the process. In our video experiment, we also used the “reverse sear” technique of cooking low and slow in the oven followed by a few minutes on the grill. The result is one of the best steaks we’ve ever had!

Leaner steak cuts can be a beast to cook, but we discovered a little-known secret! Keep your steak tender and juicy throughout cooking by coating the meat in creamy, tangy Primal Kitchen Whip Dressing & Spread and employing the reverse-sear technique in which low-and-slow oven roasting is followed by a quick char on the grill.
