Ingredients:

  • 1 lb Top Round Steak
  • ¼ cup Steak Seasoning (I used Burnt Sacrifice Santa Maria Rub)

Instruction:

  1. Heat the grill to 250 degrees using indirect heat.
  2. Cover the steaks with your favorite steak seasoning. Make sure to get the sides too.
  3. Add wood chips to the grill and place the top round on the grate.
  4. Add the steak to the smoker for about 30 minutes per pound to reach a temperature of 135 degrees for a medium rare. Use a wireless thermometer to make sure you don't overcook the meat.
  5. A gentle, billowing smoke will leave an amazing flavor while the low temperature will slowly break down the connective tissue.
  6. REVERSE SEAR OPTION: Once you have it smoked, remove the top round from the grill and remove the plate setter, if using the Big Green Egg. Otherwise turn on all the burners and heat up to 450 degrees or so. Remember to get a crust and sear marks, it has to be HOT, not 350 degrees. Once it is brought up to temperature, place the steak on the grill and sear it for 1-2 minutes each side.
