COOKING INSTRUCTIONS
-
Marinate the Steak:
-
In a bowl, whisk together orange juice, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, soy sauce, parsley, cilantro, and green onions.
-
Place the steak in a resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Ensure the steak is well-coated.
-
Marinate in the refrigerator for a minimum of 4 hours or overnight for best flavor.
-
Prepare the Steak for Smoking:
-
Remove the steak from the refrigerator and pat it dry with paper towels.
-
Season the steak with your favorite rub or the homemade all-purpose rub (combine all rub ingredients).
-
Let the steak rest at room temperature for 20–30 minutes to allow the flavors to deepen and the meat to come up to room temperature.
-
Prepare the Chimichurri Sauce:
-
In a bowl, combine parsley, cilantro, green onions, garlic, oregano, red wine vinegar, olive oil, chili flakes (if using), salt, and pepper.
-
Stir well and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
-
Smoke the Steak:
-
Preheat your smoker to 300°F (149°C).
-
Place the steak on the smoker and cook until it reaches your desired internal temperature, flipping halfway through for even cooking.
-
For medium-rare, remove the steak when it reaches 125°F (52°C). Adjust for your preferred doneness.
-
Rest the Steak
-
Remove the steak from the smoker and loosely tent it with aluminum foil. Let it rest for 10–15 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
-
Assemble the Sandwich:
-
Slice the steak thinly against the grain.
-
Place the slices on your favorite bun and generously top with the chimichurri sauce.
-
Serve and Enjoy

Serve immediately and savor your smoky, flavorful steak sandwich!
