Tender Chuck Steak (Reverse Sear)

Recipe by Ben Goshawk

A step‑by‑step guide to turning an affordable chuck steak into a melt‑in‑your‑mouth steak that rivals ribeye. The method uses three simple tenderizing techniques – fork‑piercing (jarding), trussing, and dry‑brining – followed by a low‑and‑slow oven roast and a quick high‑heat sear for a perfect crust.

Critical Success Points

  • Fork‑tenderizing (jarding) to break muscle fibers
  • Trussing to create even thickness
  • Dry brining with kosher salt for 12‑24 hours
  • Low‑temperature oven roast (reverse sear)
  • High‑heat final sear for crust

Safety Warnings

  • Handle hot oil with care; splatter can cause burns.
  • Use oven mitts when removing the hot tray.
  • Ensure kitchen twine is 100 % cotton; synthetic strings can melt.
  • Always wash hands and surfaces after handling raw meat.
