"SOURCE SHADOWS -- This is the way I posted this recipe originally to Aboutdotcom. This steak is best served with the center red/pink, it is at it’s most tender state at that point. The flavors can be intensified by using your favorite smoking chips on the cooking coals (I use sassafras, hickory, or apple). Leftovers make excellent sandwiches when topped with bacon, tomato and melted cheese (Swiss, Cheddar, Smoked Gouda or Blue) and remaining marinade drizzled on top. I store the leftovers in the marinade to keep the steak moist and flavorful. Prep Time includes marination time Note: this steak can be slow smoked in your smoker for additional flavor."
