As the season turns and the grill comes back to life, this is the kind of recipe that earns its place at the center of the table.
@smokepointq takes the reverse sear and pushes it further: slow-cooked to temp, seared hard over fire, then finished with a rich entrecôte sauce built from butter, herbs, anchovy, dijon, capers, walnut, and lemon.
Slice it clean, let the sauce melt in, and settle in for steak night done right.
