Ingredients
• 1 beef steak (ribeye, T-bone, or sirloin, 1.5 to 2 inches thick)
• Salt, to taste
• Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 garlic cloves, crushed
• Fresh rosemary or thyme (optional)
Equipment
• Grill (gas or charcoal)
• Wood chips (oak or hickory preferred)
• Meat thermometer
• Tongs
Method
Start by removing the steak from the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before cooking so it can reach room temperature. Preheat your grill to a low heat, around 275 to 300°F, and prepare it for indirect cooking. Add soaked wood chips to the grill to create a light, steady smoke.
Lightly coat the steak with olive oil and season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper on both sides. Place the steak over indirect heat and allow it to smoke slowly until the internal temperature reaches 120 to 125°F for medium-rare.
Once the desired temperature is reached, increase the grill heat to high, around 500°F. Sear the steak for 1 to 2 minutes per side until a rich, golden-brown crust forms. While searing, melt the butter with crushed garlic and herbs, and spoon it over the steak to enhance the flavor.
Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing. Resting allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a tender and juicy bite.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this smoked beef steak with grilled vegetables, roasted potatoes, or a fresh green salad. A bold red wine or a cold craft beer pairs beautifully with the deep, smoky flavors of the beef.
This recipe is simple, satisfying, and guaranteed to impress anyone at your table.
