Reverse-Seared Steak Recipe Confusion over a 30 - Minute or 1 - Hour Rest

Question

Hi,
    I wanted to double check the instructions in Step 2 where it says to remove the steak from the oven and let it stand for an hour.  I watched the TV episode and don't recall any mention of waiting this length of time before searing the steak in a cast-iron skillet.

Hello Barbara,
We apologize for any confusion. Occasionally, we publish various versions of a recipe which sometimes leads to confusion for everyone. Our editors are working on a way to disentangle the multiple versions of recipes. The version that called for a 1-hour rest is not the original version of the recipe. We have attached a pdf of the original recipe – Oven-Perfect Strip Steak with Chimichurri — which calls for a 30 minute rest. The fact that the TV segment doesn't mention the 30-min pre-sear rest likely was innocently overlooked as a talking point in the segment. We assure you that the published recipe (attached) is the one to follow.
Hopefully, this answers your question. Again, we apologize for any confusion
