Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm good.
You have no idea how good those look to me right now... ;)
New York Strip is my favorite cut of beef. Sometimes when I am buying a whole boneless Top Loin, I will cut half into steak, and leave half uncut and use it as a roast. It makes the best roast beef sandwiches.
Thanks Habs, never thought of smoke/cooking a big hunk to make sammies out of.
Done it with top and bottom round before just not New York.
I also love the New York Strips.... and of course Rib-Eyes ;)
Great looking plate of grub ya got there ;D
I'm with Muebe I am more of a Ribeye guy but I wont pass up a good strip steak. Those look pretty good.
Those look good, but I too am more of a rib eye man.
Is there no bacteria concern when cold smoking steaks and then transferring them to the grill?

Not for me. ;D
The meat was 34 F when it when in the smoker, it was only in there for 2 hr and by the time I took them out the smoker was 65 F and the meat was only 42 F.
The ones that didnt go on the grill went straight to the freezer to firm up so I could vac seal them.
Have done this many, many times and aint worried about any critters growing .
Just dont go over 2 hr and all is good.
