KC strip steaks are marinated in a spicy brine and rubbed with tri-tip seasoning to make a delicious crust. While they cook you make a thick creamy sauce to complement the steaks.
Ingredients
- 4 KC strip steaks
-
Sweetwater Spice Tres Chiles
-
Cattleman’s Grill Tri-tip Seasoning
-
1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 shallots, finely chopped
- 1 1/2 cups ruby port
- 2 cups beef stock
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup capers, rinsed and coarsely chopped
- 2 tsp white wine vinegar
- salt and pepper, to taste
Directions
- Place the steaks in a zip-top bag with the Sweetwater Spice Tres Chiles. Marinate according to Sweetwater’s instructions. Preheat your Yoder Smokers YS640 Pellet Smoker to 450°F set up with GrillGrates.
- Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a Lodge Logic 12 inch Cast Iron Skillet on medium. Add shallots, stir while cooking for about one minute. Add port and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook until mixture is reduced to about 1/4 cup, 5–6 minutes. Add beef stock; boil until syrupy, 10–12 minutes. Remove skillet from heat; whisk in heavy cream. Return skillet to medium heat; boil gently until thickened, 6–8 minutes. Stir in capers, vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste. Hold warm to serve.
- Remove the steaks from the marinade. Wipe excess marinade off with a paper towel. Season with Cattleman’s Grill Tri-tip Seasoning. Rest 5 minutes.
- Grill steaks on one side for about five minutes. Flip and grill until internal temperature reaches 125°F. Check the temperature with an instant read thermometer like the Maverick PT-75. If steaks are taking on too much color, move to a more indirect grilling area. Rest steaks five minutes. Serve topped with port caper sauce.
