Steps

  • 1

    2 hours before cooking, remove the steaks from the refrigerator and let come to room temperature. Pat dry with a paper towel.

  • 2

    When ready to cook, set the Traeger temperature to 225℉ and preheat with the lid closed for 15 minutes. For optimal flavor, use Super Smoke, if available.

    Generously season both sides of the steaks with salt. Insert the probe into the thickest part of a steak, avoiding the bone and any large pockets of fat. Place the steaks directly on the grill grates, close the lid, and cook until the internal temperature reaches 120°F, 30-45 minutes.

    Remove the steaks from the grill and increase the grill temperature to 500°F.

    500 ˚F / 260 ˚C

  • 5

    Place the steaks back on the grill, re-insert the probe, and sear until the internal temperature reaches 125-130℉ for medium-rare, or your desired temperature, about 3 minutes per side. Remove from the grill and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain into 1/2-inch-thick slices.

    Spread the arugula on a large platter, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt. Place the sliced steak and any juices on top of the arugula. Generously grind black pepper and shave the Parmigiano-Reggiano over the steak. Enjoy!
