Step 1

Preheat smoker. Preheat your smoker to 225 degrees F. I used oak wood for this recipe.

Step 2

Season the roast. While the smoker is heating, combine all ingredients for the homemade steak rub in a bowl. Sprinkle the rub on all sides of the strip roast.

Step 3

Smoke the strip roast. Place the roast directly on the grill grates, close the lid, and smoke for approximately 5 hours, or until the internal temperature of the roast reaches 130 degrees F.

Step 4

Tent and rest. Remove the roast from the smoker, tent it with aluminum foil, and allow the roast to rest for 20 minutes until carryover cooking brings the internal temperature of the roast to 135 degrees F.

Step 5

Slice and serve. Slice the New York strip roast and serve.
