How to Cook a Boneless Beef Strip Roast

New York Strip Roast With Brandy Au Jus makes an impressive, decadent, main course. This New York Roast is seasoned and roasted to tender, juicy perfection. The flavors of the steak roast are delicious on their own, but when paired with an au jus that has been spiked with brandy, it is one show-stopping entree!

Move aside prime rib, this is a lighter take on a steakhouse favorite that is more delicious than the original!

The Best Holiday Roast

This recipe for New York Strip Roast has become my family's tradition for Christmas Dinner.

A New York Strip Roast is a leaner, less expensive take on a standing prime rib roast, and the results are spectacular.

Rubbed with garlic and herbs and roasted to just the temperature you like, this recipe for New York Strip Roast produces mouth-watering results!

So while Baked Ham and Prime Rib are delicious, I think after one bite of this luscious steak roast, you will start a new holiday tradition yourself.

Notes on Ingredients

  • New York Strip Roast: New York Strip Roasts are a lean, yet flavorful, cut from the beef short loin. Essentially, it is New York Strip steaks that have not been cut into individual servings. These roasts are easy to find around the holidays, but if you don't see it at your store, simply ask the butcher for one.
  • Thyme: Thyme and beef are a great combination and it proves true in this recipe as well. Be sure to use fresh thyme leaves, not dried, as the flavor is not the same.
  • Garlic: Lots of fresh garlic will give the New York Strip Roast a holiday flare and tons of flavor.
  • Kosher Salt: This recipe calls for a lot of kosher salt, and you must use kosher salt! Any other variety of salt will result in a steak that is WAY TOO salty. The kosher salt will help to infuse the cut of meat with flavor, without overwhelming the rub.
  • Brandy Au Jus: Just like a prime rib is served with au jus, this New York Strip Roast pairs well with one as well. To prepare the au jus, you will need beef stock, garlic, thyme, and salt and pepper. I love to add in brandy for a rich finish, but you can use dry red wine or omit the alcohol altogether.

How to Make Perfect Strip Loin Roast

  • Combine fresh herbs and garlic with salt and pepper in a food processor to form a thick paste.
  • Massage the roast with the mixture.
  • Place the seasoned strip roast onto a platter, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate. Note: If you have space and are not worried about the strong aromas from the roast to permeate delicate items in the refrigerator, it is best to NOT cover the roast.
  • Refrigerate for 12 to 48 hours.
  • When ready to prepare, remove the roast from the refrigerator and the meat sit on the counter for at least 1 hour. This allows for more even cooking of the NY roast.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Place a digital thermometer in the center of the New York Roast and place the roast into an oven that is set to 450 degrees and roast for 15 minutes.
  • After 15 minutes, lower the heat to 350 degrees F and roast until the desired temperature is reached.
  • Remove from the oven and tent the roast lightly with foil.
  • Let the strip roast rest for at least 20 minutes or up to 60 minutes. This will allow the juices to redistribute through the meat and keeps it super juicy and flavorful.

How long should you cook a New York Roast?

Using a digital thermometer that is oven safe is the MOST accurate way to prepare any steak. It is well worth the investment to ensure you do not ruin an expensive cut of meat by using the right tools.

New York Roast is delicious served rare to medium in temperature. I find this roast is the most flavorful when served medium-rare and I would never recommend cooking until medium-well or well-done, as that will completely ruin this tender cut of meat.

You need to take your NY Strip out of the oven when it is 10 degrees BELOW the temperature you desire. It will raise another 10 degrees as it rests.

  • Rare: 120 degrees, remove from the oven when the internal temperature reaches 110 degrees.
  • Medium-Rare: 130 degrees, remove from the oven when the internal temperature reaches 120 degrees.
  • Medium: 140 degrees, remove from the oven when the internal temperature reaches 110 degrees.

Brandy Au Jus

This roast is absolutely delicious simply sliced and served alone. However, a sharp, rich au jus that has been spiked with brandy is a perfect way to finish off this delicious cut of meat.

Prepare the au jus while the New York Roast is in the oven, by bringing beef stock, salt, pepper, fresh thyme stems, garlic, and brandy to a boil. Reduce to low and simmer for 30 minutes to one hour.

Storing Leftovers

Beef is always best served immediately after preparation, as it will lose flavor when reheated.

However, if you happen to have leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator. For best results, heat beef stock to a simmer and then place sliced leftovers into the simmering broth for 30 seconds to heat. The stock will keep the meat from being dried out and will warm it just enough to enjoy.

Serving Suggestions

Pair this impressive New York Strip Roast with Twice Baked Potatoes, Oven Roasted Asparagus, and a Holiday Salad for a memorable meal fit for any holiday or special occasion.

  • Allow meat to come to room temperature while oven heats to 450.

  • Place meat, fat side up, on rack in roasting pan.

  • Roast meat 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F. Roast meat until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of meat registers the 10 degrees lower than the temperature you desire to serve the roast at. (See notes for temperature guidelines)

  • Slice and serve with au jus on the side for dipping.
