Got a 6 lb boneless New York Strip Roast for tomorrow - but not sure best way to cook it?  Wrapped now in a wet rub of olive-oil/garlic/thyme/sage/s&p . . . . . should I sear first & then go indirect  . . . or reverse sear?  Also, any wood suggestions?  Open to any suggestions, thanks!

    Either way works. I prefer reverse sear. If you get a good crust from the rub you may not even need the sear.

    I'd go 375°direct until you have an IT temp of 125° in the heart of the roast. Pull and rest for about 20min or so... The crust should be fine at that point having gone direct and the rest will allow for the rise which should get the end cuts done for those that like them well...

    @NDG we're cooking one of those tonight - ours has a thick fat cap, how much of that did you trim, if any?
    Love you bro!

    @legume Yes ours had thick fat cap as well . . I removed all the hard parts, ended up cutting off all but a 1/4" inch of so.  Then we made the wet herb rub (olive oil, fresh thyme, fresh sage, garlic, s&p) and wrapped it tight in plastic wrap for a few hours.
