Hickory Smoked Surf & Turf on the Drum

This weekend I smoked some reverse sear ribeyes, a few king crab legs and twice baked potatoes on the drum...
Reverse searing is the method of smoking meat at a low temperature then searing it on a grill at a high heat to seal in the juices.

I rubbed the ribeyes with olive oil, seasoned with cracked black pepper and kosher salt, and threw them into the drum at 250 degrees F with a bit of hickory for smoke.

I usually let ribeyes smoke for an hour but this time I went for 45 minutes ( I was impatient and hungry. :))

I turned the steaks after 30 minutes of smoke and added the crab legs.

Since the legs are cooked they just need to be heated through. This time I put the legs on while still partially frozen...




I added a few garlic, onion, twice baked potatoes...





I removed the steaks after 45 minutes of smoke...








then seared the hickory smoked steaks on the Memphis Pro.... seven minutes per side...









The hickory smoked reverse sear ribeyes with mushrooms, smoked twice baked potatoes, crab legs with garlic butter and a salad..










It was soooooo tasty. Might be one of my favorite meals. :)

After eating we spent the rest of the evening playing pool. I actually won a few games.. it was a fun way to spend the day! :)
