How would you roast a New York Strip Loin, approximately 6-1/2 lbs.?

Question

What is your preferred method ? This is an important night and the roast has to be perfect....

Answer 1

I''d wrap it in bacon or another way that will turn out perfectly (it sounds very odd) is to pack it in rock salt & pepper, here are instructions for that (this shows a prime rib but same technique for your N.Y.S. cut but these photos are of a much bigger piece of meat)). http://roundthechuckbox.blogspot.com/2006/06/prime-rib-roast-in-dutch-oven.html if you don't want to grill it, bake it in preheated oven to 450°F. Place meat, fat side up, on rack in roasting pan. Roast meat 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F. Roast meat until instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of meat registers 130°F for medium-rare, about 35 minutes (or 140°F for medium, about 35 to 40 minutes). Remove from oven; When it's done the salt will be a hard crust, chip it away, cover in foil & let stand 20 minutes. Cut crosswise into 1/3-inch-thick slices. Arrange slices on platter and it's probably the best thing you'll ever eat!
This is some other techniques and some step by step photos you can put your own seasonings on there.
