Smoked New York Strip Loin Recipes

PAM'S SMOKED NY STRIP LOIN ROAST

Steps:

• This piece of meat is basically NY Strip steaks before they are cut into steaks. Select a roast with a nice fat cap on it.
• TWO DAYS before you cook - Remove the meat from it's wrapper and pat dry. Generously salt with kosher salt and fresh ground pepper on all sides.
• Place on a rack over a drip pan in the fridge and let sit UNCOVERED for 2 days. Really. Do it.
• Preheat your smoker to 215 degrees. Place the roast directly on the smoker rack fat side up. Insert temperature probe.
• Add about 1/2 cup hickory chips to the smoker. We like this lightly smoked so that's all I use. If you like a heavier smoke taste add it more than once.
• Remove when the internal temperature reaches 125 degrees. I strictly go by internal temperature and not time. Let rest at least 20 minutes before slicing. The temperature will rise while resting and you should have a nice medium rare piece of meat.

WHOLE ROASTED NEW YORK STRIP LOIN

Steps:

• Coarsely grind peppercorns and allspice together in a spice mill. Combine with salt in a small bowl. Sprinkle mixture evenly over exterior of roast. Add the grated garlic and rub in all over.
• Line a roasting pan with herb branches and set roast on top. Leave to absorb seasonings for at least 1 hour at room temperature, or refrigerate overnight (bring back to room temperature before proceeding). Heat oven to 400 degrees.
• In a large pot of well-salted boiling water, cook potatoes until just done, about 15 minutes. Remove with a spider or slotted spoon and place in an earthenware baking dish. In the same water, simmer parsnips until just done, about 8 minutes. Remove and add them to potatoes in baking dish. Pour melted butter over the potatoes and parsnips and use a brush to make sure they are well coated.
• Make the horseradish sauce: Whisk together crème fraîche, Dijon mustard, horseradish and cayenne in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper and refrigerate.
• Roast the beef, uncovered, for about 1 hour. Check with an instant-read thermometer after 45 minutes. For medium-rare, take the roast out of the oven when thermometer registers 120 degrees (residual heat will cause roast to continue cooking as it rests). Remove the roast, tent it with foil, and let it rest for 15 minutes; the temperature should rise to 125 degrees. About 15 minutes after the roast goes into the oven, put in the baking dish of potatoes and parsnips, uncovered, and roast until beautifully golden brown, about 30 minutes.
• Slice the beef into 1/4-inch-thick pieces and arrange on a warmed platter, garnished with a big bunch of watercress. Pass the roasted vegetables and horseradish sauce separately.
