Ingredients

Instructions

  • Drizzle both sides of the steak with soy sauce. Sprinkle both sides with the spices and rub them in to penetrate the meat.
  • Allow the spices to penetrate/marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, up to 8 hours.
  • Preheat the smoker to 225 degrees.
  • Add the steak to the smoker. Smoke the steak for 45 minutes to an hour or until it reaches the minimum internal temperature you are looking for. Remove the steak when it reaches the following:
    Rare: 118 degrees
    Medium-rare: 120 degrees
    Medium: 136 degrees
    Medium Well: 143 degrees
    Well-done: 154 degrees
  • Allow the steak to rest for at least 10 minutes after you remove it from the smoker and before slicing it. During this time, the meat's juices redistribute, which helps to improve the tenderness and overall flavor of the steak.

Notes

Soy sauce helps tenderize the meat. You can omit it if you wish.
Omit the unsweetened cocoa powder if you wish.
You can season the steak using any of your favorite beef, steak, or BBQ rubs.
Use enough spices to fully coat the meat. Add additional if necessary.
