Steak Leftovers

Reheating Steak Showdown: Tested Methods to Keep Flavor… Perfect Leftovers!

This time, armed with The Art of Reheating Steak, we set out to prove that leftovers needn’t feel like a compromise. First, we tried slow-chilling our steaks overnight before reheating—a revelation, as it prevented toughness. Next, we mastered the double-broil method, achieving that coveted crust while locking in moisture. We also experimented with sous-vide for precision and found that a final sear restored superficial rosy edges. However, the winner? A humble cast-iron skillet, used to quickly rewarm slices on medium-high heat, then finished with a spritz of olive oil and a few drops of butter. The results were glorious: edges glossy, interiors tender, and flavor fully intact. This guide has saved us from culinary shame, and we’re finally confident in our reheating game.
