3. Reverse Sear for the Finish
- Once steaks hit your target temp, remove from smoker and tent with foil while you preheat a cast iron skillet or hot grill to high heat.
- Sear each side of the steak for 1–2 minutes until a golden-brown crust forms.
- Use tongs to sear the edges and fat cap for full coverage.
4. Rest & Serve
- Transfer steaks to a cutting board and let rest for 10–15 minutes.
- Slice against the grain, sprinkle with finishing salt or compound butter if desired, and serve!
Tips & Pairings
- Rest is crucial: This redistributes juices for max tenderness.
- Try a compound butter: Mix softened butter with garlic, herbs, and lemon zest and top the steak while resting.
- Perfect pairings: Roasted garlic mashed potatoes, grilled asparagus, and a bold red wine or smoky bourbon.
