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.
