Tools and materials
Tools
Ingredients
- 1 slab of eye fillet
- Olive oil
- Salt to taste
Steps
Time
1 hour, depending on finish
Set the temperature
Slowly bring the temperature of your smoker to 200°C. (Reverse searing differs from fast searing in that the temperature rises gradually to minimise shocking the protein.
Prepare the eye fillet
While your smoker is reaching temperature, trim the silver skin off your eye fillet and season with salt and oil.
Smoke the eye fillet
Once the temperature has been reached, place your eye fillet on the top rack of your smoker and cook to your desired finish. As a rule of thumb:
- 50°C = Rare
- 58°C = Medium-rare
- 65°C = Medium
- 70°C = Medium-well done
Sear the eye fillet
Now it’s time for the searing. Place your eye fillet on the grill rack, directly above the hot coals. Close the lid and sear for 5 minutes on each side.
Rest the eye fillet
Take your eye fillet off the grill rack and let it rest for 15 minutes before serving.
