Like I said... we make steaks every week and we have been working on creating the perfect steak recipe and I think that we have finally done it. For this video I used delmonico ribeye steaks, but you can use this same method for any steak.
I start by pat drying the steak with paper towel. I then take a small amount of olive oil or avocado oil and baste the steak with it. I used a homemade rub on this but any steak rub or something as simple as SPG (salt pepper garlic) would suffice. Make sure that the rub is sticking to the surface of the steak and let the steak rest at room temperature for 15-20min while you get the grill going.
In this video I am using my Camp Chef SmokePro SG24 WIFI. I smoked the steaks at 200F and smoke level 10 until the internal temperature was 110F. Once it reaches 110F remove the steak from the grill and spread Mayonnaise on the steak... yes I said Mayonnaise! This is the point where some of you die-hard steak lovers will disown me... but trust me on this! Now that you've got the mayo steak ready lets the get cast iron griddle hot. For this I used my Camp Chef Sidekick with the cast iron griddle at Med-High heat. I seared each side until the perfect crust had formed. Removing the steak at 110F from the grill and searing it momentarily on each side will produce an awesome Medium-Rare steak! Keep in mind that the thickness of the steak will determine how much additional cooking will take place during the sear. For a thicker cut steak you may want to smoke up to 115F, whereas a thinner steak 100-105F. I will let you be the judge.
This mayo steak is absolutely the perfect steak. The crust on this steak is incredible and extremely flavorful. This steak is super juicy and tender and is the perfect medium rare steak!

Write me a comment too! I'd like to know what you think of these mayo seared ribeyes!!

I recently used my Camp Chef to smoke the PERFECT turkey! Come check it out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWOUgHuvbZiNfJI

[@hinsontacp]

Oh man! I just tried this and they turned out amazing!!!! Best steaks I have cooked so far! Thanks for the tutorial!

[@AndersonsSmokeShow]

Glad to hear that you liked them! Many people turn their noses to the Mayo sear… they just don’t know what they are missing out on lol

[@TheSquirrel49721]

All looked good!! You talked about everything but the smoke flavor! Mayo,reverse sear seasoning and what not!!!

[@MrFace864]

Just subscribed to your channel, you’re a likeminded individual.

[@Nikkyeshiva83]

This is the first steak video I've ever shared on social media. The reason is that everyone does it the same way: kosher salt and black pepper. "You don't wanna mask the flavor of blah blah blah". These guys aren't afraid to season a steak. Never seen avocado oil on a grill. Finally something new. Great job, guys.

[@AndersonsSmokeShow]

I appreciate it! Thanks for sharing!

[@HellosunshineUSA]

I used mayo on fish and it turned out so good. I had my doubts but I follow through and I was pleasantly surprised by the flavor

[@DeadBrokeBBQ]

Great looking ribeye Andrew and I have been wanting to try some mayonnaise on protein for a while now and you convinced me to try this!! Thanks for sharing dude and have a great week!!

[@AndersonsSmokeShow]

So sooo soooooo good! The sear that I get with the Mayo on this cast iron is 💰💰💰! Thanks for watching bro!

[@ykvidz]

I love it, this guy talks about thermopens like they are a semi - automatic. Good videos, love the channel.

Thanks! 🤣

[@AndersonsSmokeShow]

Awesome! I really appreciate the support William!

[@AD1978leo]

My set up is a little different, but im going to adapt minus the griddle. Got my steaks seasoned and coming to room temp now. Gonna try the mayo but flame seared. I think you may be an evil genius. I'll update later

[@suzannedunlevy8421]

Today will be my first time cooking on a pellet grill. Timings for everything would be great

[@frijoleapapi1]

Great video big dog!

[@kurtfretz9779]

Nicely done video. You did great with concise and clear directions. Love the mayonnaise technique. I want to try that soon.

[@Joebeans24]

Have to admit, I thought you had lost your mind re the mayo before the reverse sear. However, said he hasn't steered me wrong yet with his other recipes, or smoking tutorials, and decided to try it. Man, Mayo is now part of all my steak reverse sear recipes... It works and adds an incredible crust to any steak.

[@AndersonsSmokeShow]

Hahah I know… it’s one of those “I don’t believe it” moments, but it’s well worth it!

[@CrossCutCreations]

I'm definitely ready for steak now.

[@AndersonsSmokeShow]

Honestly one of the best steaks that I’ve ever had!

[@VJ-Syd]

Hi Anderson Please make a comparison cook b/w Gravity & Camp Chef.

[@AndersonsSmokeShow]

I can do that!

[@cedricdavis4413]

I'll have 2 experiment with the mayo I love Hellmans like a fat cop on a free donut! I use a blend of extra virgin olive oil and grass fed butter in a cast iron skillet to get a crispy crust on my grilled cheese sandwiches👍🏾

[@AndersonsSmokeShow]

The Mayo sear is 💰💰💰!! Try it on a grilled cheese too

[@pumpkinheadghoul]

Great video, brother. On a side note, I've tried every single steak rub recipe I could get my hands on, or dream up myself. After much trial and error, I've discovered what I believe to be the absolute perfect rub to compliment a good quality ribeye steak. In fact, of all the rubs I've tried, even the best of them don't compare to this single rub recipe, and I'm happy to share it right here. A good quality course sea salt and pepper. That's it! Just a good quality course sea salt, like Maldon flake sea salt, and some fresh cracked black pepper. For some reason, those two simple ingredients shine better than anything else I've thrown at ribeye steaks. Everything else just seems to bury that awesome fatty beefy flavor a good quality ribeye steak has to offer. However, everyone's tastes are different. I love a good complex rub on some cuts of meat, such as a brisket or a flank steak, but when it comes to ribeye, I just can't justify throwing anything on there that competes with what I believe is near perfection right from the cow. Keep up the great work, my friend.

[@AndersonsSmokeShow]

I’m SPG all the way when it comes to steak! Oh yeah and can’t forget about a little butter for the sear

[@waltertx.6020]

Grilled cheese is good with Mayo vs Butter. Steak should be awesome with Mayo vs Butter! Yummy!

[@AndersonsSmokeShow]

Mayo is great for searing! Give it a try sometime!

[@bucobrews9513]

Oh and I do have that new controller....game changer

[@Stlmgnolia]

[@AndersonsSmokeShow]

I love the controller on this grill! Mine keeps temp extremely well!

[@mgatlinmt]

Mayo on steak!? BRILLIANT! Use it on grilled cheese forever too but never considered it for meat.

[@AndersonsSmokeShow]

Makes for a beautiful sear!

Love the video. Thanks for sharing!

[@AndersonsSmokeShow]

Thanks for watching!

[@danamcmillin670]

How long does normally take to smoke steak for med rare

[@AndersonsSmokeShow]

It depends on the thickness and the temperature of the steak when it’s going in… But under an hour, usually.

[@chumooskie5527]

would LOVE a follow up on that seasoning mix you were working on

[@AndersonsSmokeShow]

It’s still in development. My plans have been to finalize and get something packaged this off-season

[@pumpkinheadghoul]

FYI, one little tip about mayonnaise. In my opinion, NOTHING beats the taste of Hellmann's mayonnaise. However, I noticed something. I was running pretty low on my jar of Hellmann's, so when I was at the store, I figured I'd give the squeeze bottle a try. I instantly noticed the flavor was vastly different than the jar. I still had a couple of tablespoons worth left in the jar, so just to make certain I wasn't just imagining it, I did a side by side taste test, and I was right, they simply taste different, and just to make certain, I had my wife taste them both, and she agreed, the jar tastes so much better. I don't know what they do differently, if it's something with them thinning it out slightly to make it easier to dispense from the squeeze bottle, or if they do anything different at all, but there was no denying they tasted different. In my opinion, they are not the same product. It was literally like tasting two different brands of mayo. Just thought I'd throw that experience out there. On a side note, I will be trying your may trick. Looks interesting.

[@AndersonsSmokeShow]

I’ve noticed that too! Also I’ve tried the olive oil Mayo, and the original Hellmans is still the best

[@nolatone]

I have the sear box with the grill grates. Does the mayonnaise work in that case?

[@MightyMax34]

do you salt your steaks the night before or only on a large piece of meat only? also do you prefer the griddle vs the camp chef bbq grill box for an open flame? just wondering cause Christmas is around the corner and I want to get the woodwind 24 with then sidekick. thanks

[@Stlmgnolia]

Guga method yeah,that works great.BTW the CC SG24 Wifi is cheaper then the woodwind and yoiu can get the searbox with it

[@AndersonsSmokeShow]

I actually have the deluxe grill box but I use that with my Pro60x when I go camping or hunting. I personally like the Sidekick because of the versatility that I get with it!

[@Sebastopolmark]

Alright Andrew, I am going to give this method a try (will have to hide the mayo from my wife) then ask her how they come out??? Keep the vids coming! !! !!!

[@AndersonsSmokeShow]

Hahah I did that to some friends that don’t like Mayo… they loved them 🤣

[@uclajd]

So what oil are you using on the griddle?

[@usi6789]

Alright, I’m gonna trust you!!!

[@AndersonsSmokeShow]

Good stuff! I swear!

[@richardmulcahy8607]

Cool trick!

[@bucobrews9513]

So may people hate Mayo. Im 90% anti mayo myself. Still might try this on the MB 1050. I don't have a sidekick for my camp chef........yet

[@AndersonsSmokeShow]

I think you’d be surprised how well it turns out! You also do not taste Mayo at all.

[@WeberEnthusiast]

Awesome recipe, looked amazing 👌👌

[@AndersonsSmokeShow]

Thanks!

[@tubejorob]

Just subscribed after watching three of your videos! Awesome looking steaks can't wait to try this method. I'm brand new to cooking on the Camp Chef. About how long did you have the steaks on the smoker before they got to 110 degrees?

[@AndersonsSmokeShow]

To be honest I don’t always pay attention to the time. It’s probably around the 30min mark or so

[@bartholomewa9294]

NICE!! never tried mayo as i'm a grill mark person BUT I can always flip my"GrillGrates"over to the flat side and try that with DUKES(I'm in S.C).Is your rub going to br like an SPG all purpoae or more of a beef rub?? Anyway nice job again

[@AndersonsSmokeShow]

I could see my rub to be more all purpose. At this time I have only tried it on steak, but I’ll be trying on chicken here soon! The Mayo sear is 👌🏼

[@travisbyrd4712]

Trying the mayonnaise for the first time. Hope it goes well!

[@AndersonsSmokeShow]

How’d it go??

[@bradmoran5229]

Msyo is eggs and oil. I use butter. I dont want a rub on a steak either. I would have rather seen the SG30 direct heat sear. I can sear it in the kitchen too; I don't need a a sidekick and gas. How volume of pellets does it take to cook 1 steak? About how long did it take to get to 110 degrees?

[@tjwilliams9571]

I had the pit boss pro and it would smoke a minute then stop then start then stop all through the cook. The smoke flavor was weak at best. Do you have any of these issues with you smoker

[@AndersonsSmokeShow]

Pellet grills typically have those periods of no smoke… just the nature of the beast. I will say that I have the best results when I use quality pellets. I’ve found that Lumberjack has some Great pellets especially the 100% cherry or 100% hickory’s

[@wemcal]

Great video

Thanks!
