  • 4 pieces beef filet steaks about 2 inches thick
  • 2 Tablespoons Hey Grill Hey Beef Rub or equal parts salt, pepper, and garlic powder
  • 2 Tablespoons Hey Grill Hey Sweet Rub recipe link in notes section

Cooking Instructions

  • Preheat your smoker to 225 degrees F.
  • Carefully trim away any silverskin or large chunks of fat on the outside of the steaks. Cut the steaks into 1 ½-inch cubes.
  • Pour the Sweet Rub and Beef Rub onto a small plate and mix to combine. Pour the Midnight Rub on a second plate. Dip the top and bottom of each steak bite into the Midnight Rub and then roll the sides in the Sweet Rub. Set the seasoned bites onto a flat cooling rack. Repeat until all of the steak pieces are seasoned.
  • Transfer the cooling rack with the steak bites onto the smoker grates. Close the lid and smoke for about an hour, or until the steak bites reach 120 degrees F.
  • Transfer the steak bites to a cast iron skillet or aluminum pan. Drizzle with the BBQ sauce, sprinkle the brown sugar evenly across the bites and dot with pats of butter.
  • Place the skillet back on the smoker, close the lid, and continue cooking until the steaks reach 130 degrees F, the butter has melted and the sauce has tightened around the steak bites. Serve warm.
