Does searing steak over high heat really trap the juices inside? 🥩🔥
You’ve probably heard that you need to sear meat to create a “crust” that prevents the juices from escaping.
But… is that actually true?
In this video, I explain what really happens when we put meat on a very hot grill and the real reason why we use high heat.
Spoiler: the purpose of searing isn’t to trap the juices. It’s to create a beautifully browned surface, with incredible aromas and flavor through the Maillard reaction.
And if you want to keep as much of the meat’s juices as possible, there’s another step that really matters: letting the meat rest before cutting it.
Did you also think that searing meat trapped the juices inside? 👇
