great video short gets to the point no bullshit
Sticks steak in microwave as he continues talking
Forget vegetable oil, throw a half stick of butter in that pan and sear it in butter. Better flavor.
but who the hell doesn't finish steak or over prepare steaks
Glad I found this video! I reverse seared a 2.7 pound bone in prime ribeye last night and could only eat half! There's no way it was ever seeing the inside of a microwave.
THX! This worked perfectly!!!
Can’t wait to try this tonight. Treated myself to a 1.5 lb ribeye and didn’t come close to finishing it all!
What kind of monster doesn't finish their steak?
That isn't a skillet, a skillet has legs and is intended for use over an open fire
That's a chefs pan
Tried it, and worked great 😋
No such thing as "leftover steak."
Wow. Cooked twice and still almost raw.
Man I don't have that much time! I'm hungry!
Bro!!$ whose got 30 mins to hear steak? I cook them in 10
I did this and it looked like cardboard but tasted like HAVEN
He forgot step 3: call the fire department to tell them your smoke alarm was false.
Dan excellent timing! We just treated ourselves to 4 pounds of beautiful filet mignon steak at Costco. Since it's just us 2, we had some leftover. I took these 2" thick steaks and, following your instructions, created another great meal. Thanks

Wait, generally I only cook my steaks for 2 minutes on the first side and one minute on the second in a smoking cast iron pan. How can all that time in the oven help?
Just did this with a big porterhouse and it tasted great, definitely worth taking the time to do this. For everyone complaining that this takes too much time or effort, then you probably aren't spending much on your steaks…
For the people criticizing, yeah…. if you bought 2 steaks for $15 at Kroger and cooked them yourself probably not worth it. However, if you took half of your $42 ribeye home from a fancy steak restaurant, then it’s probably worth the extra time spent.
It worked!!
Cool
I just boiled a pot of water, dropped the steak in a plastic bag and dropped the bag into the pot, tasted good as new
Realybif this is done to meat that was already cooked. What you will be left with a steak which would be tough like steel….it is a steak killer.
Steak left for 5 minutes is cold!
It reminds me of when I ask for directions somewhere and after the 7th or 8th left or right turn it's like: "OK, never mind".
I’m trying to reheat these nicely and quickly not wait 30mins
This recipe sounds like a better way of reheating steaks, unlike some others i saw.
When I reverse sear a steak I cook it from room temp at 250 for 20-25 minutes then sear it., and that is for a steak the same thickness as yours.. and you recommend 30 minutes at the same temp to reheat it? Really?
Letting the oil smoke is NEVER a good idea.
Get a haircut Dan from six years ago!
for some reason this video's audio doesn't work, but other videos are just fine… hmmm. Thankfully there's subtitles
Give me a break. This should be titled "How to reheat a partially cooked steak". Any idiot can cook a steak to medium rare. When you undercook something you are not fully tenderizing it through the cooking process. Unless you are a horrible cook and do not know how to cook a steak and you overcook it every time, I can see why you are only cooking medium rare: you suck at grilling and should not be doing this for a living.
Should the steaks be room temp when you put them in the oven?
I followed the video exactly and my steaks were perfect! Thank you so much!
Aluminum foil and stick in oven to broil, done in less than 10 min…
Good my bro
Just tried this and it works great! I certainly overcooked my steak a bit, but damn is it still ever juicey.
How can you reheat it when it’s not even cooked?
nice
Who has steak for leftover???
I always finished my steak.
How many of you just said fuck it and microwaved it? I did.
I re-heated leftover tenderloin using this method and it was perfect. I only heated it for 20 minutes, then seared the edges in a pan, nice and crispy outside. Delish !
I did EXACTLY what they said and they owe me $25 because it turned out awful. (i did half a steak and the full steak was $50)
