Whole New York Strip Loin!

[viper125]

Boy just called and asked about this. Really didn't know much to tell him. Said a store locally have them for 2.71 a lb average 15 lb. I now the steaks are ok. Me don't really like steak a lot. Told him I figure better to give it a slow and long smoke. Maybe even a little brine or marinade of sort. I am guessing better served rare to medium rare. Figured id ask for some one with more experience with beef then me. Is this a good price and how would you recommend the cut and to smoke.

That is a good price, watch the grade, it might be select or worse. It is easily $6-$7/lb here not on sale.

You could give it the "rib roast" treatment:

~200F until IT is 115F

FTC until 15 minutes before serving

8 minutes in a 500-550F oven to set the crust.

Slice and enjoy.

New York Strip or Top Loin, is where my favorite cuts come from. That is a very good price if they are a grade choice or CAB. That is pretty large for a New York Strip Loin, make sure it is not a New York Sirloin Strip. They are two totally different cuts of meat.

That meat comes out well by slow cooking:
Smoked Top Loin

Well like I told him i guess. Around here thats a decent burger price, not even the good stuff. And if smoke cant make it right nothing can! ;D
