Ingredients

  • 2 Whole top sirloin steaks Chilling the meat is essential to retain juices and flavor. 
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Kosher salt (to taste)
  • 2 tbsp Butter
  • 1.5 tbsp Peppercorn blend
  • Your favorite steak rub or seasoning (optional)

Instructions

  • Dry brine the steaks by applying salt and refrigerate for a few hours or overnight.
    This process tenderizes the meat and enhances its flavor. Place the steaks in a shallow dish after removing them from the fridge.
  • Press peppercorns onto the steaks and sprinkle with garlic powder. Allow the steak to rest briefly before returning it to the refrigerator.
  • Preheat the Traeger Grill: Start your Traeger grill and set it to smoke, allowing it to preheat for about 15-20 minutes with the lid closed.Load your Traeger grill with wood pellets, such as hickory, to infuse a smoky flavor.
  • Smoke the top sirloin steaks until they’re nearly at your desired doneness.
    Remove the steaks when they reach an internal temperature 10 degrees below your desired final cook temperature.
  • Preheat your Traeger grill to 500°F and use a cast iron skillet.
  • Place butter in the skillet and ensure it sizzles when you add the steak.
  • Wrap each steak in aluminum foil and let them rest for about 10 minutes.
  • Slice the steak against the grain for a tender and flavorful result.

Notes

Make sure to cut the steak against the grain.
Resting the meat allows juices to redistribute, preventing dryness.
