Pellet Grill Steak Ingredients

Steak on the Pellet Grill Recipe Instructions

1. Season your steak

Season your steak liberally on all sides. If you have the time, I also recommend dry-brining your steak for an even more tender bite. Meanwhile, preheat your smoker to 225F.

2. Smoke the steak

Put the steaks on your smoker and cook until they hit an internal temperature of around 125F for a medium rare steak. Make sure to use a meat thermometer to get an accurate reading.

3. Sear the steak

Remove the steaks from the smoker and heat up your gas grill until it reaches 500F. Places your steaks on the grill, and search each side for 2-3 minutes to develop a nice crust on the outside.

4. Rest and serve

It takes 60-90 minutes to cook a steak on a pellet grill. The time will vary based on what temperature you cook at, the cut (and thickness) of your steak, and your desired steak doneness level

Always use an instant-read meat thermometer to accurately check the temperature of your steak.
