Tomahawk Ribeye Start To Finish On An Offset Smoker | Reverse Seared Ribeye

I got a beautiful, massive prime tomahawk ribeye from my local butcher Avon Prime Meats. Figured I’d smoke the steak before the sear, then decided that I would sear the ribeye in the firebox instead of getting another grill fired up… follow along for this epic steak cook!
Takeaways:
1. This steak was essentially a 1 bone prime rib roast. It weighed in at 3.8 lbs and 3.75 inches thick. It took a while on the smoker, almost 90 minutes. The smoke bath at 250 led to a great smoke flavor and a very distinct smoke ring.
2. Next time, for the sear, I’m going to replicate everything I did in this cook but not use a cast iron. I’ll put a grate directly into the smoker over the coals. The cast iron just didn’t get hot enough and the sear wasn’t optimal. I like a dark char/crust on my steak and I didn’t quite get there with this one.
3. Great quality steak cooked with a live fire from start to finish is tough to beat. This was an incredible meal!
If you’d like to see me try the final sear method with a grate right over the coals next time, drop me a comment…I’m determined to do this again and make it the best steak I’ve ever had!

Can you do a video on fire management for the patriot pit? I’m looking to get their freedom 94 caster model and want to learn more about how they run.

[@Merricks_Meat]

Absolutely I’ll add it to the list! In the meantime, if you check out my “I BBQ’d in a Blizzard” video, you’ll see a decent amount of how I get my smoker going and get it steady at 250. Even in the cold. Hit me up with any questions you have!

You could have seared that steak " Cave Man" style . Lay it directly on the coals...

[@Merricks_Meat]

Thought about it, but I’d rather do that with coals right out of the chimney starter. Too much ash in the firebox. Thanks for watching!
