One of my favorite ways to enjoy beef is by cooking steak on a pellet grill. The flavor of this steak is simply amazing, and you can change up the flavor by experimenting with different woods in your grill.

Ingredients

2 ribeye steaks 12-16 ounces each
1 Tablespoon Hey Grill Hey Beef Rub
2 Tablespoons salted butter

Instructions

Preheat. Preheat your pellet smoker to 225 degrees F using your favorite hardwood. I like a mix of oak and cherry wood for beef.
Season. Season your steaks with the Beef Rub or equal parts kosher salt and cracked black pepper. Make sure to press the seasonings into the meat with the flat of your hand as opposed to just sprinkling them on.
Grill. Place the steaks on the pellet grill and close the lid. Cook the steaks at 225 until the internal temperature of the steak reaches 10 degrees lower than your target finished temperature (115 degrees F for rare, 125 for medium rare, 135 for medium, 145 for medium well, or 155 for well done). Use an internal thermometer to check the temperature. It will take approximately 1 hour for 1.5-inch thick steaks to hit 120 degrees (for medium rare steaks).
Sear. Once your steaks reach their target temperature for the first cook, it is time for the sear. Remove the steaks from the grill to a cutting board, close the lid, and increase the temperature to High. Once heated, return the steaks to the hottest part of your grill. Leave the lid open and sear each side of your steak for approximately 2-3 minutes. Cook your steaks to the following temperature for your desired doneness:120 degrees F for rare, 130 for medium rare, 140 for medium, 150 for medium well, or 160 for well done.
Rest and serve. Move the steaks to your serving platter and top with a tablespoon of butter on each. Rest the steaks for 5-10 minutes before serving.
