1. Using Smoker and do a reverse sear on the steak.
- To do this you run your smoker in the indirect method.
- Run your smoker between 200°F/95°C. - 250°F/120°C.
- Using an internal temperature prob cook your steak to your liking. remove your steak 5deg before desired temperature.
- Rest your steak for at least 10 minutes.
- During you rest time remove the baffle plate out of the bottom of the smoker and replace with Char grill.
- Build your fire up high and close the smoker and allow the temperature raise well into the red on the smoker.
- After resting you are ready to sear, make sure you have a lot of flame in the ozpig.
- Now place your steak on the char grill and sear to your liking on all side.
- Remember your steak is already cooked so you only need to sear the out side and warm the steak.
2. Using Char grill over the ozpig
- Ensure that you have a large bed of hot coals in the ozpig belly ( you can achieve this by adding charcoal to your fire).
- Making sure you don't have excessive flame, place your char grill and drip tray on the ozpig and allow to heat up.
- Using moderate heat, place your steak on the char grill ( moderate heat can be achieved with a large bed of coals and one piece of timber alight).
- With thick steak it is important to flip your steak often to ensure the juices stay inside the steak
- Cook to desired temperature, make sure to remove from the heat at least 3 deg before desired temperature as the it will continue to cook.
- Take the steak off the heat and allow to rest to ensure juicy steak ( good rule of thumb is to allow half the cook time.
