PGSmoker's - Reverse Seared Tenderloin Steaks - Heavy Q-View

[pgsmoker64]

It was an absolutely beautiful day in Central/Southern Virginia today - so naturally I wanted to get the grill out!

While Steph went shopping with her buddy, Trevor and I headed to the meat market and picked up about $40.00 worth of Tenderloin beef steaks...the thickest we could find - about 3" thick!

Here they are with a light coat of EVOO and just a touch of Lowry's Seasoned Salt

If you have never tried it...Reverse Searing steaks is the ONLY way to eat good beef!!!!

Thanks for looking,

As always...you and Trevor are making some good lookin' stuff down your way. I was rushing (Had to go to Boulder to show a few homes to some good friends), got back at about 3:45...cleaned/injected and tossed on the smoker a beer can chicken (sans beer can) and a dozen hot wings. I'll snap a pic or two and post separately!

I'm gonna give those a try sometime this week?

Happy Smokin'

Great Looking reverse sear! The only way to do steaks!

Oops meant to add that with the mini-wsm you can pull off the smoke chamber stoke the charcoal and transfer the cooking grate and steaks. No need for another appliance or starting new charcoal to get the sear done! Love the Mini!

Yeah, I know.  As it is, this was still pretty easy getting the electric ready and then transferring to the Weber Kettle. I suppose you could say the same for the Big Green Egg - but at a lot more cost than the mini!

They came out looking great. Reverse sear...the best.

Wow! That is something I'll definitely have to try. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks...the reverse sear just adds so much flavor!

It's very easy to do and you'll never want your steaks any other way!

Thanks...stop thinking and start cooking...way to easy to wait!

Ya, I know...I am am about 2 weeks behind on this thread...but those steaks look absolutely amazing!!!  I just assembled my smoker this week and hope the weather holds this weekend for curing. I was wanting to smoke some chicken and baby back ribs, but I may try the reverse sear steaks first now.  How long did you sear them on the Weber Kettle?  I have the same thing.

Those steaks look fantastic. I totally agree reverse searing works great on steaks AND with burgers.

About two minutes on each side - and these steaks had four sides as you can see from the pics!  When you can stand a steak up on its side...that is a thick steak!!!

Thanks guys!  They were totally amazing!  I have two more in the freezer just waitin' their turn!!!  Never tried it with burgers.
