Reverse Searing, Step by Step
Set oven temperature to 250° F.

Place protein (beef, chicken, pork, or fish) on an elevated, perforated rack inside the oven to allow air circulation throughout.
Remove protein from the oven five to ten degrees before desired temperature of doneness. Always have a meat thermometer present.
Let protein rest for seven to ten minutes. Sear protein for one minute per side on a grill or oiled pan.
Slice and devour.
