Equipment

Ingredients

For the Reverse Sear Smoked Ribeye Steak:

  • 1 pound Ribeye steak, 1 ½ inches thick
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon beef seasoning

For the Tacos:

Optional Taco Toppings:

  • ¼ cup chopped cilantro
  • ½ cup cole slaw
  • ½ cup cotija cheese
  • 2 limes cut into small wedges

Instructions

For the Reverse Sear Ribeye Steak:

  • Preheat Smoker: to 160 degrees (we used cherry wood).
  • Season Ribeye Steak: Coat the steaks with olive oil and then season the steak liberally.
  • Smoke Steak: Place ribeye on the smoker, and cook 30-45 minutes, or until the internal temperature (IT) reaches 110 degree. Remove from the smoker and prepare for the grill for high heat.
  • Grilling: Prepare your cooker for direct heat. In this case we used a simple kettle grill. Once the grill is HOT, place the steak over the hot direct heat for about 2 minutes at the most, then flip and cook another two minutes or until the steak reaches your desired the internal temperature (we aim for 125 - 130 degrees). Remove, let rest a couple minutes, then slice into thin strips.

For the Tacos:

  • Warm up your corn tortillas.
  • Load up the tortillas with a couple slices of the steak, a drizzle of chimichurri sauce, an avocado slice, and any other additional toppings.
