Grilling Thick Steaks - The Reverse Sear Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Beef Recipes. (Grilling Thick Steaks - The Reverse Sear Recipe). Steaks 2 inches thick or more generally don't respond well to traditional grilling over high heat. The outside and layer below it tend to be heavily charred and dry by the time that the center reaches the desired temperature (unless you are a black and blue fan). The reverse sear brings the steak up to temperature slowly over low indirect heat, allowing the meat enzymes to work their magic. The steak is then grilled at high temperature to get the appropriate crust.
