I have been won over to the "reverse sear," method for cooking steaks and chops.
- Pat the raw meat as dry as possible. And, add salt/pepper at the last minute, before putting it in the oven.
- Using a probe thermometer, bake the meat, at 250 F., until it reaches the appropriate temperature for your preferred doneness -- which, for me, is usually medium-rare. (I Google "ideal internal temperature for....")
- In a hot skillet, sear it in a small amount of veggie oil, for about 1 minute, on each side.
Tonight, I'm going to try it on my Saturday hamburger. Google suggests 145 F., for rare, but adds 160 for commercially-ground, which is what I have. So, I'll probably split the difference.
Has anyone tried a reverse-seared burger? If so, any tips?

Result ...
It was very good, but no better than a regular, broiled burger. And, it took much longer. Back to the broiler.

Excuse my ignorance, but what does the "reverse" part refer to?

Not ignorance, Jep. I didn't know what it meant when I first heard the term. It refers to a method by which the internal temperature is reached at a low temp, in the oven. Then the meat is "seared," in the last few seconds, in a skillet. I think that, with denser meats, it's a good method. The probe thermometer tells you when the optimum temperature is reached, and the meat gets the final searing, in a few seconds in a skillet. This is the first YouTube video that I saw on it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zU-hISLJgc&t=206s
