Ingredients
- 4 Ribeye Steaks
- 1 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 2 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Pepper
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 2 Tbsp Butter
Instructions
- Preheat the smoker to 225 degrees Fahrenheit with your favorite type of wood chips.
- Dry the steaks and let them rest on the counter to come to room temperature. Combine the garlic powder, salt and pepper together in a small bowl. Rub the olive oil onto both sides of the steaks and then season both sides of the steaks with the mixture. Let the steaks rest for 15-20 minutes with the mixture on it to absorb the flavors.
- Place the steaks on the grates in the smoker and smoke for 1 1/2- 2 hours until the steaks reach an internal temperature of 120 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat. Once it’s hot, pour the vegetable oil into the pan. Spread the oil around.
- Place each of the steaks in the center of the pan (you may have to work in batches depending on the size of your pan.) Sear each side of the steak for 1-2 minutes until they have browned and the steaks reach the internal temperature of how you like your steak prepared (temps are listed in the notes).
- Remove the steaks from the smoker and top each steak with butter. Cover them with foil and let them rest for 10 minutes.
- Then the steaks are ready to serve and enjoy!
Notes
The best way to test for doneness is by inserting an instant read thermometer into the thickest part of the steak. Do this through the side, not the top of the steak.
