Reverse searing is a way to get steaks that are perfectly cooked all the way through. You won't have that thick ring of overcooked meat on the outside with a thin strip at the desired doneness in the middle. It will be nicely pink almost to the edge and from end to end. Resting it between the oven and the grill means you can serve it directly from the grill without resting it again.
