Step 1

Put your steak in the smoker set at 180-225 degrees and let it smoke until the internal temperature is 100-110 degrees. If you're working with a thicker cut of meat - 2" plus in thickness - you'll want to take the internal temperature up to 125 degrees.

Step 2

When your steak gets to the target internal temperature, pull it off the grill and tent it with foil, and turn up the temperature of your smoker to 500+. If you have a cast iron skillet, put it in the smoker while it's warming up.

Step 3

Right before you put your steak in the skillet, add a tablespoon of butter.

Step 4

Once the smoker is at 500+, put your steak back in. After 1-2 minutes flip the steak, and let it cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.

Step 5

Let your steak rest for at least 10 minutes. If its a thicker cut of meat you can let it rest for up to 20 minutes.
