Equipment

  • Wood pellet grill
  • Oakwood pellets

Ingredients
  

  • 4 3 inch NY strip steaks
  • 3 tbsp BBQ Rub
  • 1 tsp Kosher salt
  • 1 tsp Ground black pepper
  • 2 tbsp Avocado oil

Cajun Steak Rub Ingredients (mix to your ratios)

Instructions
 

  • Take the steaks out of the refrigerator 2 hours before cooking time and cover them with oil.
    If you making your own rub mix the spices in a bowl or get out your strorebrought rub and cover the whole piece liberally leaving no part uncovered. 
  • Load the pellets, and set the grill to a temperature of 450°F and wait for your pellet grill to come to temperature. 
  • Put the meat directly on the grate in direct heat, insert the temperature probe and monitor while cooking.
  • Check after 5 minutes and cook until  they reach an internal temperature of 128°F and remove from the smoker.
  • I used my Blackstone griddle but you can also use a cast iron pan on a stove top. Heat your pan or griddle to high and sear for 90 seconds on each side
  • Remove the steaks when they reach 130°F for medium rare (see the table above for the other temperatures)
  • Cover with foil and rest for 20 minutes. Then slice and serve.
