Ingredients

  • 2 Grass Fed Rib-eye steaks
  • 2 cups non-iodized salt
  • 2 eggs (whites only)
  • ¾ water
  • Dry herbs (optional-these are an aromatic element. Examples include Cuso's Grass Seasoning , pepper, and garlic powder).
  • Set your smoker to 450F.
  • Place the salt in a bowl.
  • Add the liquids slowly, forming a paste. You can use water, wine, beer, or juice along with the egg whites
  • You want the texture of a paste (not runny).
  • Place a heat probe into your meat before encrusting it. You won’t be able to see it, so this ensures you get the cook desired.
  • Cover the steak with the pre-crust “batter” on all sides.
  • Put into the smoker for 15 minutes
  • No matter the cooking method, flip the meat when the salt on one side turns brown. Pull the meat when the internal temperature reaches 125F.
  • Let the meat rest in the shell for 5.
  • Crack open the salt, then sear both sides of the steak quickly.
  • Let it rest again for 5-10 minutes before serving.
  • Enjoy the fun of cracking it open like Creme Brule in front of your guests.
  • Serve!
