This smoked New York strip steak is finished with a creamy, herb-forward green goddess dressing that rivals steakhouse versions. The slow-smoke technique keeps the meat tender while the tangy, garlicky dressing cuts through the richness of the beef.

Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Let the steak rest at room temperature for 20 minutes before smoking to ensure even cooking and better smoke penetration.
Use a meat thermometer for accuracy: pull the steak at 125–130°F for medium-rare and let carryover cooking finish it to 130–135°F.
Don't skip grating the garlic fresh in the dressing—pre-minced loses pungency and the texture improves the emulsion.
Apply avocado oil sparingly before smoking to prevent flare-ups and preserve the clean smoke flavor.

Substitutions

Sour cream → Greek yogurt (tangier, higher protein)
Cream cheese → crème fraîche (richer, slightly less dense)
Fresh chives → fresh dill or tarragon (different herb profile)
New York strip → rib-eye or filet mignon (adjust smoking time for thickness)

Storage & make-ahead

Store leftover steak wrapped in foil or an airtight container up to 3 days; reheat gently in a low oven (275°F) to avoid drying. Dressing keeps refrigerated up to 4 days.
