Comment on Disappointed. Immeasurably.
TranscendentalEmpire@lemm.ee 4 weeks agoYeap, kinda the epiphany on my end. Had a steak I was wanting to reverse sear but already had the oven set for something else. Figured the air fryer was just a fancy oven and gave it a shot. Steak came out better than normal and have been doing it ever since.
I haven’t tried finishing it in the air fryer yet, been worried it might not sear correctly since it’s not getting direct heat.

Try it on a smoker.

As much as I love smoking meats, steak in a smoker is disappointing every time. I’ve found that pan frying in cast iron with butter provides the most consistently delicious steaks every time. Even better than the grill because the all the tasty juices stay in the pan and infuse with the meat.

Ain’t nobody got any time for that. Imo smokers are overrated for the amount of time and effort you have to deal with them.
If I want to do a fancy steak I’ll usually just do a sous vide.

Thats why I love my pellet grill.
It gives you a product 80% as good with 80% less effort.
