Rinse steaks under cool water and pat dry with a paper towel
Apply a dry brine to the steaks by spreading kosher salt across the entire surface of the meat, top with a sprinkle of black pepper, and let rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.
Preheat the smoker to 225°F. If you're using a charcoal grill, set it for 2-zone indirect cooking.
Once preheated, place steaks on smoker racks and cook until the internal temperature reaches 125°F (10°F under medium rare), this takes about 45 minutes but will vary depending on the meat thickness.
Once the desired temperature has been reached, remove the steaks.
Preheat a cast-iron skillet and drizzle with high-heat oil like avocado oil. When hot, sear each side of the steaks for 1-2 minutes, or until the steaks reach their final desired internal temperature (135°F for medium rare)
