A smoked to perfection Strip Roast (New York or top loin beef roast) has become a family tradition for our Christmas feast. Weighing in at less than $6 per pound a U.S.D.A. Choice grade strip roast is ideal for smoking low-and-slow on a wood pellet smoker-grill. A simple to prepare yet elegant medium rare tender slice coupled with a baked potato, green salad, and freshly baked crescents will more than satiate everyone's taste buds. Prime Rib and Ribeye roasts are great for festive occasions but don't ignore a Strip Roast for the holidays and your Sunday night dinners.
Stated with an 11 ¾ pound Costco Choice grade strip roast. Trimmed the majority of the fat cap and any silver skin. Cut four 1 inch thick New York Strip steaks for later grilling.

Configured my MAK 2 Star wood pellet smoker-grill for indirect cooking. Allowed the New York Strip to sit on the counter while preheating the MAK 2 Star to 240ºF with [easyazon_link keywords="Pacific Pellet" locale="US" tag="ftd-20"]Pacific Pellet[/easyazon_link] Gourmet BBQ Bourbon Blend pellets.
