3" Rib Eyes with Smoke and Sear with Q-View

[sarnott]

Bought a two pack of 3" thick Rub Eye Steaks at Costco, each was just over 2.5 pounds. I rubbed them with EVOO, Montreal Steak Seasoning, dried minced onion and minced garlic.

I put them into the smoker at 225 with 75% Jack Daniels Oak and 25% cherry.

I smoked them for just under 2 hours and pulled them at 125 degrees to rest in a very cool grill (for 10 minutes). I continued to watch the temp to make sure they didn't go over 130.

After about 10 minutes, I pulled each of them and seared them at about 600 degrees on my searing burner.

Off the grill, rested a short time, then sliced.

Glazed them with a light bourbon marinad, added gorgonzola crumbles and onion straws (tried to kinda copy "Steak Bourbonzola" sold at the Rockbottom Brewery) and served with rice.  Tasted great!

Outstanding? I have started to use the reverse sear more and more if late myself.
