Ingredients

2 top sirloin steaks about 1 pound each
2 tablespoons dry rub I recommend my Beef Rub or All-Purpose Seasoning

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Pat the steaks dry with a paper towel.
Cover all sides with steak rub (dry brining). Dry brining steak brings out natural flavors of meat and improves the texture. Salt draws moisture to the surface, which is then absorbed back into the meat, acting as a natural tenderizer.
Let marinate for at least 30 minutes before cooking, and up to 24 hours.
Pre-heat the smoker to 225 °F.
Place on the grill and smoke until internal temperature reaches 130-135 °F, about 45 minutes.
Remove from the smoker, cover with foil and increase heat to 450 °F.
Return the steaks to the smoker and sear for 3 to 3.5 minutes on each side, until internal temp reaches about 145 °F (for medium) or your preferred level of doneness.
Remove steaks from the grill and rest under foil at least 5 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Nutritional values will vary depending on size of your individual steak and rub used.

Expert Tips

Removing the steak from the grill while the smoker increases temperature between the smoking and searing steps is essential to prevent overcooking.
Resting is an essential part of the cooking process. The meat increases in temperature during this time (called carryover cooking) and juices get reabsorbed and redistributed in the muscle fibers, creating a moist and flavorful steak.
