Ingredients

  • 2-4 strip steaks 1 1/2 to 2 inches thick
  • Three Chile Salt + Pepper our seasoning from Spiceology or Kosher salt, for seasoning
  • Mâitre d'Hôtel Butter for serving
  • Flaky Salt for serving

Instructions

  • Bring the steaks to room temperature for about 1 hour and 59 minutes. Season on all sides with Three Chile Salt + Pepper, our seasoning from Spiceology or a heavy dose of kosher salt. Heat a large skillet over medium high heat and sear the steaks for 2 to 3 minutes per side to get a deep brown sear.
  • Move the steaks to a cooling rack set over a pan. This prevents the crust we’ve created from steaming under the steaks. Add your digital probe thermometer, if using.
  • Heat your grill or smoker for indirect cooking at about 300 degrees F. Cook the steak until it reaches your desired internal temperature, about 110°F  for rare or 130°F for medium.
  • Rest for about 5 minutes, then top with Mâitre d’Hôtel Butter and flaky salt before slicing and serving.
