I thought about posting this under the tank emergency thread, but figured this might be more appropriate.

I'll be smoking a ribeye tomorrow and need to know.... only salt on the smoker, add pepper after the grill, right?
I completely season my steak before grilling. My favorite seasoning (typically an all purpose bbq rub without sugar) + a coarse Montreal seasoning to form a nice crust.

Sand!

Now about that A1 sauce. When my wife and I first moved in together, still only dating, I suggested we grill up some steaks for dinner. So she says “Good idea, but we have to get some A1 sauce”. My reaction....

Well, come to find out my father in law has been cooking everyone’s steak well done her whole life. I got her to try it medium rare and we’ve never bought A1 sauce since we’ve been together.
LOL...
I wouldn't use A1 on anything, that stuff is nasty..

Agreed about seasoning before hand. Rub with olive oil for the "glue" then salt, pepper, smoke

Personally I don't put anything. I just want to taste the steak.

Anyone here use a Himalayan Salt Plate? I've looked at them but not sure I want something else I have to take care of. I wish I could taste something cooked on one to see if I really like it.

It's not in a smoker but I make a delicious ribeye or Tbone steak seasoned with salt and heavy pepper high temp seered on each side for 3 minutes then in the oven at 400° for 10 minutes , mmmmm let me tell you they come out delicious .

Thanks!

I'll likely stick with a course ground salt and pepper before I throw them on the smoker then.

I guess the plan is to smoke it at 225F to an internal temp of 120F? Still trying to wrap my head around the fact I'll be smoking a ribeye today. Not sure why since beef is great smoked but still......

I had one until I accidentally left it on grill side table in a rain storm. It was great for steaks and burgers. Similar to cooking on cast iron with the great sear and definitely added some salt flavor, but maintenance was a pain. You also have to heat it slowly to avoid cracking.

Look at the cap on those steaks! thats better than a filet any day. That Montreal is good stuff, I generally just do coarse gnd black pepper, always fresh, and dust with Garlic powder and red pepper flakes occasionally then salt at the table if needed. I have never smoked a steak but I always throw chunks on the grill when heating up so when the steaks, ribs and whatever goes on I have good smoke.

YUMMMMMMY
It was good but I'm not sure I will do it again. I'm not sure it was good enough to justify the effort of firing up 2 separate grills. Glad I tried it though, so thank you for the idea guys!

I had a buddy with two kettles and we did that once.

Same verdict, basically: Too much charcoal.

Good idea if you're cooking for a crowd. :)

Anyone rotisserie a full or partial bone-in ham leg before?
