Tips for Making Pellet Grill Steak:
This recipe uses Ribeye steaks, you can use any cut of steak; however, you would want to adjust the cooking time if needed for different cuts.
These steaks are going to be seasoned and chilled in the fridge first, so be sure to allow at least 1 hour for the steaks to sit before beginning to grill them.
As always the times may vary due to the heat that your pellet grill is putting off, but it’s best to have a meat thermometer or probe on hand.
Using a meat thermometer or probe will make it possible to get a perfect temperature that fits your preferred doneness.
We prefer to cook ours until they reach about 135*F-140*F this gives them a medium well doneness.
It’s best to let them rest after cooking for about 10 minutes before cutting them, this is always for the juices to fully flow throughout the steak.
Be sure not to skip that step if you want a juicy, tender steak.
What pellets should you use for Pellet Grill Steak?
Any pellets can be used, we like to use a blend of pellets.
If you prefer to use one type of pellet the best ones for this are hickory or oak.
Serve these with Smoked Baked Potatoes and be sure to add them to your list of Pellet Grill Recipes!
