Reverse Sear Smoked Sirloin
The reverse sear method is to heat the steak to an internal temperature that is underdone but warm. This temp can range from 115F - 135F. Once the steak comes up to temp you remove from the oven, or in this case the smoker and sear all the sides in a preheated cast iron skillet. Generally looking to sear each side for about 2 minutes.

Cover with foil to keep the heat from escaping

Optional: Cut the steak against the grain at a 45 degree angle and pack away the sliced steak for future meals.
Toss if you do not eat within the week. Freezes well if you'd like to save some for later.
Temp: Steak is safe to eat at 145F / 65C. Heat for longer in the skillet if you want your steak more done, our recipe yields medium rare steak.
Cost: Will vary based on several variables. If you're lucky you might find a pack of Prime Sirloin Steak for about $7 a pound (at Sam's Club), likely your total would be about $28-30 to buy a 4 pack.
