Lucille’s New York Strip

No, it's not Prime Rib or Ribeye but a Lucille's New York Strip Roast smoked Low-and-Slow at 240ºF for 3 hours will leave you hankering for an extra slice or two!!  Costco carries USDA Choice Beef Top Loin (New York) Roasts usually $4 to $6 less per pound less than Prime Rib or Ribeye - but you'll find it hard to tell the difference between the different cuts as they'll all melt in your mouth when smoked.

Trim any excess fat down to ¼ inch, rub the NY Strip roast with Extra Virgin Olive Oil, and a liberal amount of Lucille's San Francisco Mild Bloody Mary Mix spices.  Plastic wrap the rubbed roast and refrigerate overnight.

Preheat the MAK 2 Star Wood Pellet BBQ Smoker-Grill to 240ºF with Pacific Pellet Gourmet BBQ Hickory wood pellets.  Hickory smoke the Lucille's seasoned New York Strip at 240ºF until the Internal Temperature of the roast at it's thickest part reaches 135ºF.  Rest the roast under a foil tent for 20 minutes before slicing against the grain and serving.

Serve the Low-and-Slow Lucille's Bloody Mary Mix seasoned Hickory smoked New York Strip with a to die for baked potato from the Char-Broil Big Easy Infrared Smoker, Roaster, and Grill (SRG), and a nice green salad.
