Introduction
A guide on essential meat searing techniques, highlighting the importance of removing moisture, avoiding pan overcrowding, and the proper way to handle meat during searing to achieve a perfect crust.
Step 1
Pat the meat thoroughly dry with a paper towel before putting it in a pan to ensure a high-quality sear, as surface moisture prevents browning.
Step 2
Place the meat in the pan without overcrowding. Cook in batches if necessary, otherwise the meat will steam instead of undergoing the Maillard reaction.
Step 3
When searing off meat for braising, leave it undisturbed in the pan to allow a deep crust to build up.
Step 4
When cooking a steak, flip it every 60 seconds so it cooks more evenly and builds a nice crust on both sides.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Moisture is the enemy of a good sear, so drying the meat is essential.
Overcrowded pans trap steam, preventing the Maillard reaction from developing a flavorful crust.
Braising meat requires sitting still to build a heavy crust, whereas steaks benefit from frequent flipping.
