Share
🍽️ Introduction
Few things are more magical than a perfectly cooked ribeye — smoky crust, tender interior, and flavor that transforms with every bite. This Reverse-Seared Prime Ribeye Steak, seasoned with AlcheMeats’ The Alchemist, delivers all of that and more.
Using olive oil as a binder and beef tallow for the final sear, this method layers deep smoke with rich, buttery texture. The result? Pure transformation on a plate — proof that when you cook with The Alchemist, ordinary steak becomes extraordinary.

🧂 Ingredients
-
2 prime ribeye steaks (1.5–2 inches thick)
-
1 tbsp olive oil (binder)
-
The Alchemist, to taste (liberal coating on both sides)
-
1 tbsp beef tallow (for searing)
-
Optional: flaky salt or compound butter for finishing
🔥 Directions
-
Preheat your Traeger (or smoker) to 180°F.
-
Pat ribeyes dry with paper towels. Brush each with a thin layer of olive oil to help seasoning adhere.
-
Season liberally on all sides with The Alchemist. Let rest at room temperature for 15 minutes.
-
Place steaks directly on the smoker grates. Smoke for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until internal temperature reaches 115°F for medium-rare.
-
While steaks rest briefly, heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat and add beef tallow.
-
Once the skillet is ripping hot, sear each steak for 45–60 seconds per side until a crust forms.
-
Remove from heat, rest 10 minutes, and finish with a pinch of The Alchemist or flaky salt before serving.

💡 Pro Tips
-
Pull your steak off the smoker before your target doneness — it will continue to cook during the sear.
-
For an even deeper crust, baste with melted beef tallow during the sear.
-
Rest the steak on a wire rack instead of a plate to preserve the crust.
