Show Ribeye refers to the cut of beef that comes from the area of the ribs, as the name implies. A ribeye is a steak portion that can be boneless or bone-in. These steaks are well marbled with fat and are immensely flavorful. The fat helps to keep the meat moist and juicy while cooking. A bone-in steak adds even more flavor to the meat. If you look up recipes for smoking ribeye steaks you may not find much. Or, you may find recipes that call for marinating the steaks in wine before smoking. Such a tender cut of beef lends itself quite well to searing and basting with butter in a cast iron skillet or grilling over an open flame for minutes. So, why would you smoke this tender cut of beef? Or, why would you marinate it? Smoking ribeye steaks does not compromise the flavor. In fact, it enhances it. You won’t get that charred exterior or grill marks that quick cooking over high heat will give you. But, you can always grill the smoked steaks over a fire or on a hot grill pan for just a couple of minutes after smoking to get the same effect. This is called reverse searing. Marinating the steaks is a matter of preference. Personally, I would never marinate such a beautiful cut of meat. I think it just adds the wrong kind of moisture. Seasoning the exterior of the steak will help seal in the moisture that comes from the marbled fat. In this article we will look at a quick and easy method for smoking ribeye steaks in a Masterbuilt Smoker and 2 different types of sauces to serve with the steak. Choose a sauce that also compliments your sides. Classic sides to serve with ribeye steaks are baked potatoes and creamed spinach. However, I think smoked potatoes are perfect. You can see my recipe for those here. Start the potatoes approximately 1 hour before you place the steaks in the smoker so that they are ready at about the same time. Ingredients
