Ribeye Steaks on A Pellet Grill

[@stevenklingler]

Every cooking video should be like this. Clear, concise, and specific with times and temps. Very helpful for someone like me who knows nothing about grilling.

Best video we've seen regarding how to best cook a high-end steak on a pellet grill. We use Traeger and this recipe was served to several of our guests. Now, they want to come back for more and promised to bring their own Ribeye steaks and New York steaks!. Great job!

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@CamoDC4L]

I have always reversed seared my steaks on my pit boss. Cook them at 225 until they reach 110 then pull them off. Crank up the heat to max and open up the fire box and give them the nice sear marks and pull at 130. Come out perfect every time

[@optimisticprime809]

This is the way

[@CamoDC4L]

@@optimisticprime809 not to toot my own horn but my family rarely ever goes out to a restaurant when we want steak anymore. If we want a good steak I can do it on my back deck with a beer in my hand and way cheaper!

How long did you have to cook them at that low of a temp though?

[@CamoDC4L]

@@randallhunter3912 doesn’t take very long for them to get up to 110 degrees. Then when the smoker is set at 500 for the finishing process it only takes like 5 min to bring them up to 130

@@SwineLifeBBQ - That's some high level pun game right there!

[@yakuzaronin7090]

not sure i missed it, but was the deflector plate and the drip tray removed? not sure how 485F setting gets you 650F grill grate otherwise? if the drip tray and deflector plate are removed, is this just a big wet/pellet dust mess in the end from the juices...when normally smoking its just dry dust you have to vacuum clean.

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

I have cooked them either way and leaving the deflector in is better. It actually gets the grill grates hotter since the pellet grill is working harder. The grill grates in this video are aluminum and only have small holes in them so it holds more heat below the grate causing them to absorb more and become hotter than what the actual pit is set to.

Wow - I never would have believed you could get grill marks like that using a pellet grill if I hadn't seen you make them. Quick question: how did you get the grates to heat to over 600F with the controller set at only 485?

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

That’s the benefit to grill grates. They absorb more if the heat and radiate it better. Plus the controller is only measuring air temp bit surface temp.

I would however be hard pressed that you could NOT tell the difference between these on an easy bake and ones on charcoal. Excellent short video. thanks for making it! I am going to try that butter

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

Thanks! The butter is awesome! As far as the taste goes, its a tough call. For a hot and fast cook its hard for me to tell a difference. But a longer cook over coals or a reverse sear, I could definitely see where you could taste the difference. It's hard to be a steak over coals thats for sure! Plus the grill grates that I have been cooking on are very well seasoned LOL.. I appreciate the feedback and let us know how you like the butter!!

[@dcooper701]

What is the best way to cook a ribeye. I don't have the best choices but is it hot and fast or do you like smoking them low for about 30 to 40 minutes then hit them with just some high heat on the gas grill to get a good crust.

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

Depends on the thickness of the steak. Larger steak seem to do better with the reverse dear method but thinner one like the hot and fast. There’s no right or wrong way.. I like all steaks lol!!

Is the only benefit of the grill grate is that it holds temps better than normal grill grates because I get good looking sears on an electric Weber with the normal grates, I just preheat that thing on max for like 10-15

Definitely helps with more even heat. Plus no flare ups at all. They definitely get your grate temp up higher than air temp as well.

[@cheetor5923]

@@SwineLifeBBQ Have too agree.. a little bit of smoke first works really well. When I have a long holiday and lots of time (and a VERY thick steak) I tend to dry brine for 24 hours, cold smoke with hickory... vac bag and cook sous vide (this managed to get that smokey flavor right into the very core of the meat), let rest for about 15 minutes... then sear over super hot mangrove charcoal right on top of a chimney starter that is roaring hot for about 30 - 50 seconds per side.. absolute perfection...

[@timmorgan2093]

I do this exact same technique as well. Cold smoke for about 40 minutes, sous vide, then sear it off at the end. Sous vide really makes the steaks tender, it’s definitely the way to go!

So as soon as you hit your internal target temp your food should come off the grille? This goes for any red meat, chicken, etc? Thanks.

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

You need to allow carry over. I shoot for a finish temp of about 130 so usually pull it off the heat a little sooner. As far as chicken, I highly recommend doing a little research on pasteurization temps to understand how it cooks. You can usually take chicken off at 160 and it will carry over to 165.

Not when it comes to pellet grills...the indirect heat of a smoker doesn't allow the fat to render the same as on a direct heat gas or charcoal grill. If you are using a smoker it is best to get that excess fat cut off...unless you like smoked unrendered hunks of fat.

Hi myself

[@jimmartin9711]

Mark for smoking, do you find a pellet grill is lite on smoke flavor. I have a Rec Tec and I smoked a pork shoulder for 8 hours yesterday before wrapping (it was slightly frozen at the center). It had good color but not much smoke flavor. I have tried different wood, except hickory and not much flavor on any of them. Hickory is next but I just wanted your thoughts. I have a 22" WSM and there is no comparison on smoke flavor, the WSM wins.

[@SwineLifeBBQ]

It depends on your temp and quality of pellet. If you are looking for more flavor try starting out at a lower temp 200-225 and use a pecan or hickory pellet. I use Bear Mountain pellets and have had a huge improvement on actual flavor and smoke profile. Also going long before wrapping helps. Hopefully that will help you out and get to cooking!
