Preheat the smoker to 225°F. As it's heating, cut some of the fat off the edges of the steaks and set aside, then salt both sides of the steak generously with sea salt. Let the steaks come to room temperature.
16 oz Wagyu steak, Coarse sea salt
Place the steak in the smoker, then insert a meat thermometer. Smoke to an internal temperature to about 115°F, about 30 minutes.
As it gets close to 115°F, set a cast iron skillet on the stove over high heat. Place the cut off fat in the pan to grease it. Once the steak is at temperature, place it in the skillet and sear 1-2 minutes per side.
Remove once it reaches your target temperature, and let rest 10 minutes. Then slice against the grain, and enjoy!

Preheat the oven to 225°F. While the oven is preheating, set the steak out to come to room temperature, and cut two small pieces of fat from the steak and set them aside. Salt the steak generously on both sides.
When the steak is room temperature, set them on a sheet pan in the oven and let them cook for about 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reads 115°F.
As it's getting close to 115°F, set a cast iron skillet over high heat and add the sliced off fat to grease it. Remove the steak from the oven and place in the skillet, then sear 1-2 minutes per side.
Remove once the steaks reach your target temperature, and rest them on a cutting board for 10 minutes. Slice against the grain, and enjoy!

As always, cooking steak is all about the internal temperature, not the actual cook time! Make sure to keep a careful eye on the temperature. This steak cooks at a low temperature, so it's hard to overcook!

Don't skip the sear at the end! Called reverse-searing, this process of cooking steak is beloved by professionals for its delicious crust and forgiving process.

To add even more flavor, try adding a bit of butter, fresh herbs, and garlic to the pan while the steak sears! Serve the charred herbs with the steak- they're crunchy and delicious!

Make sure to let the steaks come to room temperature. This ensures that the meat will cook evenly, so there's no risk of an overcooked outside and under cooked inside.
