Ingredients

• 2  tablespoons white sugar
• 2  tablespoons kosher salt
• 1  tablespoon garlic powder
• 1  tablespoon paprika
• 2  teaspoons  ground thyme
• 2  teaspoons ground oregano

• 1  teaspoon lemon pepper
• 1  teaspoon  dried chipotle powder
• 1⁄2 cup prepared yellow mustard
• 1  whole beef  rib eye (about 13 pounds)

Directions

1. Combine white sugar, kosher salt, garlic powder, black pepper, paprika, thyme, oregano, lemon pepper, and chipotle powder to make the rub. Store in an airtight container until ready to use (up to 6 months).
2. Lightly brush the yellow mustard all over the rib eye. Then lightly sprinkle on the dry rub to coat the meat. Using a combination of cherry and apple wood, preheat your smoker to 225 degrees. Place the meat, fat side up, in the smoker and cook for approximately 1 hour. Let cool completely. Cut the meat into desired steak size. Grill the steaks on high heat 2-3 minutes per side. Place on indirect heat and grill 2-3 minutes per side for medium rare, 3-5 for medium, 5-7 for medium well, and 7-10 for well done. Serve.
