Joe Rogan Meat Cooking Steps

Joe Rogan uses the following steps to cook his meat. First, season the meat with garlic powder, black pepper, and kosher salt. Then he rubs the seasonings in the meat. Next, he slowly cooks the meat at a low temperature. This can be done by heating the oven, barbecue, and pellet grill to 275 degrees Fahrenheit. Rogan mainly uses the Traeger Ironwood 650 pellet grill for this. In case of using an oven , he places the meat on the wire rack in a rimmed baking sheet on a middle oven rack.

For gas barbecues, Rogan relies on turning the burners only on one side of the grill. Once it is preheated, he places the meat on the side with the burners off and then closes the lid. He also uses the Ivation Wireless Thermometer to check the temperatures while cooking the meat. In the third step, Rogan sears the meat over high heat. For this, he heats an iron skillet, then adds some grass-fed butter to it before adding the meat. Then he sears both the sides and the edges. The best would be to sear it till around 135 degrees Fahrenheit.

Next, it's time to either rest the meat in an aluminum foil for 10 minutes or slice and serve it directly. Rogan, however, prefers to rest the meat in aluminum foil for 10 minutes. Finally, it’s time to eat meat. Rogan usually adds a side dish of jalapenos and kale. He also likes pan-fried asparagus in coconut oil with garlic salt.
