Place a light layer of apple wood smoking chips at the bottom of the smoking pot, then add the grill rack followed by a sheet of aluminum foil.
Arrange the prepared ribeye steak and whole Brie cheese side by side on top of the foil.
Cover the pot with its lid and smoke over medium heat for about 10–12 minutes.
Open the lid halfway through to flip the steak once, ensuring even cooking on both sides.
Remove the steak when it reaches your desired medium doneness, place it on a plate, and season with salt and pepper just before serving.

Cooking tips 💡
Remove as much surface moisture as possible from the ingredients before placing them in the smoker so the wood aroma penetrates deeply instead of floating off.
Avoid salting the meat beforehand, as it can draw out juices and make the surface soggy—season right before eating instead.
Applewood chips deliver a soft, sweet fruit aroma that pairs perfectly with both cheese and meat; for stronger smoky notes, try oak or hickory chips.
