We asked @Darth_Traeger how he would tackle an A5 Wagyu ribeye. Below is his method for the steak he called amazing and SOOOOOOO GOOD.

Method

Directions

1
Set your Traeger or smoker to 165°F Super Smoke and your Pro Series or grill to the high setting. (note: we are using two separate grills)
2
While they preheat, season the Kagoshima A5 Wagyu Ribeye with smoked salt and fresh chopped garlic. Feel free to add some chili flakes for some extra punch.
3
Insert a meat probe into the steak, and place it on the smoker until it reaches an internal temperature of 110°F. This will take about 30-45 min depending on the thickness of the steak.
4
Transfer the steak from the smoker to the cast iron grates on your Pro Series or grill.
5
To reverse sear the steak, place the ribeye on the grates, allowing them to cook for 2 min on each side.
6
Remove from the grill and let rest for about 5 minutes.
7
Slice into thin strips and drizzle more smoked salt all over.
8
EAT! Say things like, “OMG, SO GOOD.”
