Picked up some choice rib-eyes that were on sale for under $6 a pound and decided to freeze them.

Decided to try the Modernist Cuisine method of cooking a steak while frozen instead of thawing them out.

The recipe calls for searing the frozen steaks in a pan or with a blowtorch, then baking in an oven set to 200ºF for 1 hour.

I used my blowtorch to sear, then set my Traeger pellet smoker to smoke at around 180-200ºF and smoked them till they reached 130ºF.

They actually turned out pretty good. Here is a link to a story I wrote about it:

And here are some pictures.

I always freeze my Angus Entrecôtes (porterhouse, sirloin steak) when I buy them. I can't be eating them all at once when I buy a couple of pounds of them in discount at the wholesaler.

Definately going to try out this method. Thanks for sharing!
