Method

1

Prepare your smoker: Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C) using your favorite wood chips or pellets (hickory or oak are great choices).

2

Season the steak: Pat the tomahawk ribeye dry with paper towels. Generously season all sides with kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Drizzle with olive oil.

3

Smoke the steak: Place the seasoned steak directly on the smoker grate. Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the steak, avoiding bone. Smoke until the internal temperature reaches 115-120°F (46-49°C) for medium-rare.

4

Prepare for searing: Remove the steak from the smoker and let it rest for 10-15 minutes while you prepare your grill for searing.

5

Sear the steak: Preheat your grill to high heat. You can use a cast-iron skillet on the grill or sear directly on the grates. Sear the steak for 2-3 minutes per side, until a deep, crusty sear develops and the internal temperature reaches 130-135°F (54-57°C) for medium-rare.

6

Rest and serve: Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing against the grain and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
