Does Searing a Steak Really Seal in the Juices?

You have probably heard before that searing a steak supposedly seals in the juices. I know I've heard that from lots of sources. It seems like it would make for a juicier steak, however it really is not true.

Many people will probably argue with you if you tell them that searing your steak does not keep in the juices. Just because searing a steak doesn't really lock in the juices, doesn't mean you shouldn't do it any longer. On the contrary you should sear you steaks.

Searing a steak will cause it to brown up and will create an exceptionally good steak. I always sear my steaks because of the great flavor it produces. If you are disappointed that searing a steak doesn't really lock in the juice, I have a solution for making a juicier steak. The solution is to cook low and slow. Grilling your steak slowly at a lower temperature will help it to turn out more tender and will also help it retain more of the good juices.
