Grilling steak is an art that, when mastered, can transform your culinary experience. This guide from Traeger Kitchen elevates your beef grilling with wood-fired smoke, enhancing the natural flavors of your favorite cuts. Whether you’re a seasoned grill master or a novice, follow these simple steps to achieve a mouthwatering steak every time.

Ingredients

  • 2 steaks, cut of your choice
  • Traeger Prime Rib Rub (as needed)

Instructions

  1. Season the Steaks: Generously coat your steaks on all sides with the Traeger Prime Rib Rub. This rub will infuse the meat with a rich flavor profile.

  2. Preheat the Grill: Set your Traeger grill to 425°F (218°C). Preheat with the lid closed for 15 minutes to ensure a consistent cooking environment.

  3. Grill the Steaks: Place the seasoned steaks on the grill. Cook until they reach your desired internal temperature:

    • Rare: 120°F (49°C)
    • Medium Rare: 130°F (54°C)
    • Medium: 140°F (60°C)
    • Well Done: 150°F (66°C)
  4. Serve and Enjoy: Once the steaks reach the desired temperature, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy the perfect balance of wood-fired flavor and tender meat.

Tips for the Best Grilled Steak

  • Quality of Meat: Choose high-quality cuts of steak for the best results. Cuts like ribeye, sirloin, and filet mignon are excellent choices.
  • Resting Period: Allowing the steak to rest after grilling helps the juices redistribute, making the meat more tender and flavorful.
  • Wood Pellets: Using pecan wood pellets adds a subtle sweetness and nuttiness that complements the beef perfectly.

Conclusion

Grilling a steak to perfection is a rewarding process that brings out the best in your meat. With the right seasoning, precise temperature control, and a little patience, you can enjoy a steakhouse-quality meal right in your backyard.
