INGREDIENTS:
• Tomahawk Steaks
• 2 tsp Olive Oil
• 1 tbsp Smoked Q Rock's Anytime Spice Blend | https://shop.smokedq.com/products/roc...
• 1 tbsp Smoked Q Rock's Coffee Rub | https://shop.smokedq.com/products/roc...
• 1 tbsp Salted Butter
• 1 tsp Finishing Salt

STEPS:
1. Preheat Your Traeger Timberline XL: First I set your Traeger to 250°F and allowed it to preheat while I prepped and seasoned my steaks.

2. Season the Steaks: After a light application of olive oil as a binder, I generously seasoned both sides of the tomahawk steaks with equal parts of my Smoked Q Rock’s Anytime Seasoning and Smoked Q Rock’s Coffee Rub before pressing the seasonings in to ensure it set solidly.

3. Smoke the Steaks: Once my smoker was pre-heated and the steaks were seasoned I placed them directly on the grill grates, closed the lid, and smoked at 250°F for 2 hours. This low and slow smoked allows the steaks to absorb a rich, smoky flavor.

4. Prepare for the Sear: When the steaks get to 125º I get my cast iron pre-heated on high on the induction cooktop. Right before I hit 130º I added a tablespoon of butter to the cast iron.

5. Sear the Steaks: Once I hit 130º internal temp I moved the steaks from the smoker and immediately sear them in the hot cast iron skillet. I seared each side for 1-2 minutes until a deep brown crust formed.

6. Rest the Steaks: After I applied the sear and my steaks were 130-135º internal temperature I removed them the skillet and let them rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a tender and juicy bite.

7. Serve and Enjoy: When I was ready I sliced the tomahawk steaks against the grain and served to my hungry family!
