steak preparation
Das Filet war nur leicht in einer Marinade gewendet und dann, unter Zugabe von dicken schwarzen Pfefferkörnern, erst zum Schmoren in einen sehr heißen Ofen gelegt und danach kurz in eine Pfanne geworfen worden, in der ein kleiner Klacks Palmöl brutzelte. Dieser Vorgang versiegelt, riegelt es quasi von innen nach außen ab und läßt so den einzigenartigen Geschmack entstehen.
'Seal' has already been mentioned with 'versiegelt'. What is 'abriegeln' referring to here?
Thanks.

lock in
This may require some rearrangement of the sentence, but "the flavour is locked in" is a term I have heard in this connection.

: keeps the flavour/goodness/whatever inside, allowing the unique taste to develop

(duplication) or: creates a barrier from the inside out
Basically the same thin is being said twice with a little added information.
The meat is sealed - and it is sealed from the inside out. Closed off from the inside as opposed to closed from the outside.

: Do you think the author has used 'quasi' on the basis that 'von innen nach außen' makes no sense? 'A barrier from the inside out' certainly doesn't make sense in English. // No, we just write [duplication], preferably in square brackets, so to speak.

So what do we do? Add "as it were" for quasi? :-)

: I'd go with your first alternative. It means the same as versiegeln, and I'd leave it out.

sealed - see sentence suggestion below
This process creates an inimitable flavor, sealed within the meat from the inside out.
No need for redundancies, if you want.

: Any of the given solutions seems okay, but "von innen nach außen abgeriegelt" is nonsense. And what is "einzigenartig"?

Yes, the source text is trying to be "hip", oh heavens! "inimitable". Thanks for your agree, but it seems I've taken Usch's answer.

No, the cattle were first corraled, then sealed. Thank you, Sir Andrew.

Discussion
I have to add that the German source text is highly questionable. No decent cook will ever "throw" a steak into a frying pan, nor will he use the word "Klacks" for any measurable amount of oil.
