# What You'll Need:
→ Beef
01 -
4 thick beef filet steaks, each about 5 cm
→ Seasonings
02 -
2 tbsp of your favorite beef rub or just use salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of garlic powder
03 -
2 tbsp sweet BBQ rub mix
04 -
2 tbsp charcoal seasoning mix
→ Sauce and Toppings
05 -
120 ml BBQ sauce
06 -
55 g brown sugar, dark kind
07 -
55 g unsalted butter
# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Get your smoker going at 107°C. Let it warm up evenly so it's ready.
02 -
Clean off any tough fat or shiny bits from the steaks. Slice them up into cubes, each about 4 cm.
03 -
Put the sweet and beef rubs together on one plate. On another plate, set the charcoal rub.
04 -
First, dunk the beef cubes' tops and bottoms in the charcoal rub. Roll the sides through the sweet and beef mix. Place them all on a flat rack.
05 -
Set the rack with the cubes right on the smoker. Close the smoker and let them catch smoke for about an hour. You're aiming for the inside to hit 49°C.
06 -
Move your steak cubes into a cast iron or foil pan. Pour barbecue sauce all over, sprinkle with brown sugar, and drop bits of butter everywhere.
07 -
Pop the pan back in the smoker. Shut the lid and let everything cook till the beef hits 54°C, butter's melted, and the sauce is kind of thick around the cubes.
08 -
Eat these steak bites while they're still warm, as a starter or even for your main meal.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Make sure every piece gets lots of rub, and give them enough time in the smoker for super tender bites.
