Reverse searing is what you did with the chicken wings right?

Essentially the same, yup. Cooked at a low temperature to bring the core up to a desired doneness (in my case, medium-rare), then use the hot side to char the exterior for those Maillard reactions to create a crust.

Haha.. Never tried it before. The steak I normally make is the best I've had anywhere, and it's so simple.

I'm just trying it this way because I got the rib-eyes on 'special' from Woolworths, and that usually means they're not going to be great, so I'm just using this technique to see how it'll come out.

I think it was around R85 for two nice size steaks in a pack...

Steak recipe in one that's been posted here by me and others a few times before. Wash, dry, salt the exterior, dry age for one or two days, bring out to come to room temp an hour before cooking, cook on a screaming hot pan/fire til you get the interior temp you want, let rest in foil. Eat that bitch.
