How to BBQ Thick-Cut Steaks

Reverse-sear thick-cut steaks: smoke at 165°F to a 110°F internal temp, then sear hot to finish at 130°F.

A Crowd Cow Field Guide

Take any thick-cut steak or chop to the next level by doing a reverse sear: low and slow on the smoker, then a hot, fast finish on the grill.

Season

Coat the meat in a simple rub, salt and pepper, or your favorite marinade.

Smoke low and slow

Smoke the steak at 165°F. Pull it off the smoker when the internal temperature hits 110°F.

Sear hot

Sear over high heat on the grill or in a hot cast-iron skillet with butter to lock in the flavor. Cook until the steak hits an internal temperature of 130°F.

Rest and serve

Rest, slice, and enjoy.
