Get the best of both worlds by smoking AND grilling steak.
Take any cut of steak, smoke it on a low temperature for about an hour, then sear it over a hot fire. The combination of cooking low & slow, and then searing hot & fast, results in a super juicy steak with an amazing crust.
Yields: 1-2 servings
Cook: 1 hour 15 minutes
Prep: 10 minutes
• 1 Ribeye steak (about 12-16 ounces)
• 1 tablespoon sea salt
• 1 tablespoon fresh black pepper
• 1 tablespoon cinnamon
• Other: A grill that can smoke on low heat (i.e. anything with a lid)
• Light the Cowboy Hardwood Lump Charcoal in a charcoal chimney or mound inside your grill and let burn for 10-15 minutes. (Optional) Add 3-4 small pieces of hickory wood to the top of the charcoal for added flavor!
• Once charcoal is hot, place in grill on one side and leave room so that you can add more charcoal/wood later
• Close the lid on your grill and wait for the temperature to reach 275-300F
• While waiting, season the steak with salt, pepper, and cinnamon on both sides.
• When temperature is ready, place steak on opposite side of charcoal. Let the steak roast for about 45-50 minutes (or until the internal temperature for steak is 120F) Make sure to add charcoal/wood chunks to maintain a consistent temperature!
• Pull steak off grill and let rest for 10 minutes
• While steak is resting, prep your grill to be as hot as possible
• When fire is ready, place steaks on grill for 1 minute per side
• For cross grill marks, do 30 seconds on one side then turn 90 degrees for another 30 seconds. Flip steak and repeat process
• Pull steak off hot fire, slice and enjoy!
