What cut is a New York strip roast?
Let’s get clear on what we are making today. New York Strip Roast comes from the loin section on the animal and is very tender. This means it’s going to be a high-quality cut and pricier than a lesser quality cut.
It can also be called Strip Roast or Top Loin Roast. When this cut of beef is broken down further, you get New York Strip Steaks! It all makes sense now, right?

New York Strip Roast Recipe Steps
- While your oven is preheating to 475ºF, combine the butter, olive oil, salt, pepper, rosemary, sage, and garlic in a bowl. This is the seasoning for your delicious New York strip roast!
- Rub your seasoned butter mix over the top of your New York strip roast evenly. Put a wire rack over a foil-lined baking tray, then place the New York Strip Roast on top.
- Put your New York strip roast in the oven and cook for about 10 minutes. Then, reduce the oven temperature to 375ºF. Remove your roast from the oven when the internal temperature registers at your desired level of doneness. For reference, please see my cooking temperature guide below.
- Allow your roast to rest for 15 minutes. As the meat rests, you can make the horseradish mustard sauce. Simply combine all the ingredients in a bowl and mix until everything is fully incorporated.
- Slice your New York strip roast into thick slices, and serve with your freshly made horseradish mustard sauce!
NY Roast Cooking Temperatures
We all like our meat cooked differently, and using an internal meat thermometer is the best way to check the doneness of your roast. Here’s a handy guide to help you out:
- 125ºF (52°C): Rare
- 130ºF (55°C): Medium rare
- 140ºF (60°C): Medium
- 160ºF (72°C): Well done
New York Roast Storage
Your New York strip roast can be stored in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Once cooled, wrap your roast tightly in plastic wrap or put it into an airtight container before storing.
You can store your New York roast whole or sliced, but I recommend cutting your roast before storage so it’s easy to grab and reheat! When you’re ready to serve, simply place the slices in a baking dish, cover with foil, and heat in the oven until the internal temperature reaches 165ºF minimum.
NY Strip Roast FAQs
No, New York Strip Roast is not the same as a Prime Rib Roast. The Prime Rib Roast comes from the area a bit farther back on the animal and therefore is a thicker roast.
If you have a Prime Rib Roast you need a recipe for, I have a great one right here. Both roast cuts are delicious and will be a dinner your whole family will look forward to all year long!
Again, the answer here is no. While these two Roasts do come from the same primal cut, they are different Roasts. Tenderloin Roast is the most tender cut of beef you can buy and when broken down further gives
Filet Mignon Steaks. If you are looking for the best Beef Tenderloin recipe in the world, click here.
If you have your butcher cut your New York Strip Roast for you, you can request they leave the bone on, cut the bone off but tie it on, or buy it boneless. For this particular recipe, using a boneless New York Strip Roast is fine.
New York Strip Roast might not be a cut you see out in the meat case at your local grocery store (Remember, look for Top Loin Roast too, they are the same!). If you don’t see it, don’t worry! Cutting a New York Strip Roast isn’t hard and most butchers in local grocery stores can do it for you.
If there are New York Strip Steaks in the case, your butcher should be able to cut you a roast since they come from the same cut of meat. Call ahead to make sure your local store has it and set a up a pickup time with the butcher. That way you’ll be ready to roll come holiday feast day!
The cooking time per pound after you lower the heat is going to vary depending on how you want the roast finished. If you want a medium-rare finish, which is what I recommend, cook the roast about 18 minutes per pound for a final internal temperature of 145ºF.
For any cut of beef, using a meat thermometer (link to meat thermometer) is going to give you the most accurate idea of when it’s reached temperature.
Yes! New York strip roast is an excellent cut of beef with fantastic flavor and tenderness. It’s cut from the short loin, which means it has some marbling and is perfectly tender when cooked correctly.
Plus, the large size of a New York strip roast makes it ideal for dinner parties or big family dinners!
When you put your roast in the oven, the fat should be facing up. This helps keep the beef nice and tender and gives it a beautiful caramelized crust.
If you want to make your New York strip roast even more tender, here are 3 tips you can use:
Use a marinade: This gives the roast extra flavor while also helping break down the proteins in the meat. A marinade with an acidic ingredient, such as vinegar or citrus juice, will help to tenderize the meat further.
Pound it out: Use a mallet and gently pound your roast to help break down the muscle fibers. Doing this also helps flatten the roast out for even cooking.
Dry brine: This is a simple process of salting the meat about 30 minutes before cooking. The salt draws out the New York strips moisture, which is then reabsorbed, creating a juicier and more tender roast.
It’s entirely up to you! Marinating your New York strip will give it more flavor and help to tenderize the meat. But if you’re short on time, you can skip the marinade and season the roast generously – like I did in my recipe above.
