How to Reheat Steak
Reheating steak in the microwave is how you ruin a $30 cut of meat. The microwave heats unevenly and pushes the internal temp way past the original doneness. Use the oven at 250F for 20-25 minutes until the center reaches about 110F, then sear in a hot pan for 60 seconds per side to restore the crust. This reverse-reheat method keeps a medium-rare steak medium-rare.
