Step 1

Let steaks rest at room temperature for thirty to forty-five minutes.

Step 2

Meanwhile, preheat your smoker to 225°F.

Step 3

Gently but thoroughly pat the steaks dry with a paper towel.

Step 4

Then season each steak, measuring the amount of spices with your heart. There's no one perfect amount of seasoning but be sure the steak is covered on all sides.

Step 5

Place your steaks on the smoker grates, place your thermometer probes, close the lid, and smoke the meat until the steaks reach about 10 degrees below your preferred doneness / internal temperature.

Step 6

Preheat a large cast iron skillet over high heat. Once it’s ready, lightly coat the bottom of the skillet with either butter or a high heat-oil (like avocado oil).

Step 7

Sear the steaks for 30 to 60 seconds on each side, then remove them from the heat.

Step 8

Let the steaks rest, tented aluminum foil, for ten minutes.

Step 9

Serve with your favorite sides and enjoy!
