Step 1

First I set your Traeger to 250°F and allowed itto preheat while I prepped and seasoned my steaks.

Step 2

After a light application of olive oil as a binder, I generously seasoned both sides of the tomahawk steaks with equal parts of my Smoked Q Rock’s Anytime Seasoning and Smoked Q Rock’s Coffee Rub before pressing the seasonings in to ensure it set solidly.

Step 3

Once my smoker was pre-heated and the steaks were seasoned I placed them directly on the grill grates, closed the lid, and smoked at 250°F for 2 hours. This low and slow smoked allows the steaks to absorb a rich, smoky flavor.

Step 4

When the steaks get to 125º I get my cast iron pre-heated on high on the induction cooktop. Right before I hit 130º I added a tablespoon of butter to the cast iron.

Step 5

Once I hit 130º internal temp I moved the steaks from the smoker and immediately sear them in the hot cast iron skillet. I seared each side for 1-2 minutes until a deep brown crust formed.

Step 6

After I applied the sear and my steaks were 130-135º internal temperature I removed them the skillet, apply some butter and sea salt, and then let them rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a tender and juicy bite.

Step 7

When I was ready I sliced the tomahawk steaks against the grain and served to my hungry family!
