This was the first time trying steaks in the SI #1 for me. Sunday's late lunch.
I picked up two 1lb. Ribeye steaks at the butcher and Rubbed them down with some black pepper and kosher salt.
Put them in smoker @ 225 top shelf with 1 1/2oz. of the new Red Oak I got from smokinlicious.com as a sample.
I have never used Oak before in any of my smokes, so this is a new wood for me too.
The plan was to cook to 120IT and then reverse sear in the cast iron skillet with butter for 2 minutes a side.
It took an hour and fifteen minutes to reach the 120IT.
My wife and I both said that these where the best steaks we ever tasted, mainly due to the smoke profile using the Red Oak we believe. It was a really flavorful smoke taste.
