Smoked and seared a tomahawk ribeye for my new pit’s first cook.

    Thought I’d share my first steak that I made on the new pit after the initial burn-off and season. Came out great and had plenty for leftovers the next day as well (the pic with the veggies) when I reheated it in sous vide.

    – Built a roaring fire (450-500+ degrees) for a few hours to season the pit itself, then sprayed it down with Pam to season the grates and inside.

    – Seasoned the steak with just kosher salt, 16-mesh black pepper, and a bit of garlic powder.

    – Let the fire die down to about 250°F and smoked the steak for about 1.5 hours until the internal hit 115°F.

    – Pulled it off, and built the fire back up, threw on the firebox grates, and gave her a great sear, flipping every 30 secs or so for 2-3 mins.

    One of the best steaks I’ve ever had. I dunno that I’ll get it bone-in again ($$$) unless I need another show-piece for someone, but it was certainly a great maiden-voyage cook. 🙂
