Ingredients  

  • 2 ribeye steaks boneless
  • 2 tsp kosher salt for the dry brine
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil
  • 2 tbsp steak seasoning

Instructions

  • (Optional) Dry the steaks with paper towels and season both sides evenly with kosher salt, about 1 teaspoon per steak. Place the steaks on a wire rack set over a baking sheet and refrigerate them uncovered for at least 1 hour. This dry-brining process will allow the salt to penetrate the meat and tenderize it even more.
  • Take the steaks out of the fridge and let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
  • Set your smoker to 225F degrees. We're using mesquite pellets and our smoke tube for this cook, but use whatever flavored pellets you like.
  • Pat the steaks dry with paper towels. Drizzle each steak with avocado oil and season both sides with your steak rub.
  • Place your ribeyes on the smoker, and insert a meat thermometer. Cook the steaks until the reach an internal temperature of 120F degrees (or your preferred temp).
  • When your steaks hit 120 internal, sear the outside of the steaks on your gas grill.
  • Allow the ribeyes to rest for 10 minutes, then slice against the grain and enjoy!
