Spice-Rubbed Cowboy Steak with Chimichurri

Spice-Rubbed Cowboy Steak with Chimichurri

By Traeger Kitchen

With Traeger’s ultimate Steak Blend Pellets with Rub & Sauce Kit, cooking the perfect steak has never been easier. Simply rub the steak all over with the included Steak Rub and smoke it using our bold Steak Blend Pellets. Give it a quick sear, then serve it with a bright and zesty chimichurri sauce made in no time by mixing the kit’s Chimichurri Sauce Mix with oil. Cowboy steak or a tomahawk steaks are both badass impressive options, but two big rib-eyes will do the job just as well. Just keep in mind that thinner cuts will cook quicker.

Steps

  • 1

    Preheat the Traeger with the lid closed to 225°F; this will take about 15 minutes. (Use Super Smoke for even more smoke flavor.)

  • 2

    While the grill is heating, pat the steak dry and season all over with Traeger Steak Rub. Let sit at room temperature until the grill is heated.

  • 3

    Holding a leave-in thermometer parallel to the work surface, insert it into the thickest part of the steak away from the bone. Place the steak directly on the grill grate, close the lid, and cook for 30 minutes on one side. Flip and cook until the internal temperature reaches 115°F, another 30 to 45 minutes depending on the steak’s thickness.

    225 ˚F / 107 ˚C

    115 ˚F / 46 ˚C

    Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix the oil with the Traeger Chimichurri Sauce Mix. Let sit for at least 10 minutes.

  • 5

    Remove the steak from the heat and turn the grill up to 450°F to sear it. (Alternatively, you can sear the steak in a pan on the Traeger Induction cooktop or on our flat top grill over medium-high heat.) Sear the steak on all sides until golden brown all over with an internal temperature of 125°F for medium rare, about another 10 minutes total.

    450 ˚F / 232 ˚C

    125 ˚F / 52 ˚C

    Let rest for a few minutes. Slice the steak across grain and serve with the chimichurri. Enjoy!
