See our Beef Temperature Chart for helpful tips on cooking any cut of beef!

Preheat the smoker to 225°F. Cut off a small portion of the fat from the steak and set aside (about 2 tablespoons worth). Salt both sides of the steak liberally.
16 Ounce A5 Wagyu Ribeye, Coarse Sea Salt
Place the steak on the smoker and insert a meat thermometer. Smoke to an internal temperature of 115°, about 30 minutes.
As the steak approaches your preferred temperature, preheat a cast iron skillet to high heat. Use the fat you cut off of the steak to grease the pan. As soon as the steak finishes in the smoker, place on the skillet. Sear on both sides for 1-2 minutes.
Let the steak cool for 10 minutes and enjoy!

Choose the steak cut that best fits your needs! If you're cooking up a flavorful sauce like Bearnaise, serve it with a mild, tender steak such as Filet Mignon. Rich steaks might not need sauce at all!

Lean meat means no fat to absorb heat, so a lean steak can very easily overcook. Keep a careful eye on the internal temperature of lean steaks and always use a meat thermometer!

Bone-in steaks can be difficult to cook on a pan due to the tendency for the meat to curl. If cooking a bone-in steak, try using a grill or the oven instead.

The best way to ensure a juicy steak is to use a baste and a butter rub! Try out my Beef Butter Rub- it'll make even the toughest steak unbelievably flavorful.
