Ingredients

  • 3 lb Ribeye Steaks

Dry Rub Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Pre-heat smoker to 180°F.
  • Season steaks with salt and pepper on all sides.
  • Place steak directly on smoker and smoke for 20 minutes at 180°F. After 20 minutes, remove from the smoker and put on plate. Tent with aluminum foil.
  • Place grill grates on smoker and increase temperature to 450°F. Once heated, place steak on grill grates and cook until desired internal temperature, test with thermometer.
    Always cook to temperature and not time. However, It should take about 6-9 minutes a side for medium.
  • When steak reaches desired temperature, remove from smoker and allow to rest 10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

  • Add butter to the top of the steak after cooking and allow to melt, this will give the smoked steak a really good flavor.
  • Sear over open flame to get the best crust on the steak. I love a good char on my steak.
  • Pull the steak from the grill 5°F before your desired internal temperature, it will finish cooking while it rests.
