The idea behind the reverse sear steak method is to control as many variables in cooking a steak as possible. By using the oven to do the cooking, you can control time and temperature much more precisely than on a grill. Grills are prone to flair ups and hot spots that make cooking to consistent doneness very difficult. The grill is still a fun way to cook a steak for yourself and family. But, reverse sear is the best way to avoid over done or burnt steaks.
