Sunday Bday Dinner Part 3,

Part 3- Sunday Dinner / Birthday Dinner - At this point the steak is ready to go into the smoker. I will bake it in the smoker for about 30 -45 minutes at 225 - 250 degrees until it is done / ready to eat.

At the same time the baked potatoes went into the smoker and have been cooking for about 30 minutes. The ultimate plan is to pull all the food off at the same time. I like a hot meal, all of it together at the same time.

The recipe is below.

🥩 Tomahawk Steak Recipe – Smoked on a Traeger, Seared on a Blackstone (with Ghee, Kinder’s, Garlic & Thyme)

Baste with the ghee/garlic/thyme mix during searing.
