The night before: take the meat out from the package and pat it dry with a paper towel. Usually you don't have to trim anything.
Step 1 - dry brine
Apply the salt evenly all over the meat. This amplifies the beef flavor. Leave it in the fridge overnight.
Step 2 - smoke
Time to cook: Fire up your grill, prepare it for indirect grilling. Have it running at 200° – 225° F.
Add some wood chunks for smoking if you like. I use 3-4 oak wood chunks, but apple wood, oak wood or beech wood works just fine.
Place the meat on the indirect side and close the lid. Wait until the inner temperature reaches 45° C / 113° F. It takes roughly 20 minutes.
Step 3 - sear
Now run the sizzle burner on full speed. Normally I sear directly over the fire, but with so much fat on this steak it's too easy to have a grease fire, so in this case I use a cast iron pan. Place it on the grates over hot coals.
Now sear the steak in the pan, without adding any oil or butter. Leave it for 1-2 minutes, and then flip it, and sear it for another minute. Check the meat for done-ness, its internal temp should reach 52° C / 125° F.
