This elegant New York strip roast is a sophisticated choice for a Sunday lunch or a special dinner party. The beef is transformed by a vibrant crust featuring aromatic rosemary, fresh orange zest, and savoury anchovies, which provide a deep, umami finish without tasting fishy. Because it is roasted slowly after an initial high-heat sear, the meat remains incredibly tender and juicy, while the citrus notes cut through the richness of the beef perfectly.
As a diabetes-friendly main course, this dish focuses on high-quality protein and fresh herbs rather than sugary glazes or heavy sauces. The homemade parsley and garlic butter adds a luxurious touch as it melts over the sliced meat, providing plenty of flavour with controlled ingredients. Serve this impressive roast with a side of steamed seasonal greens and roasted root vegetables for a balanced, nutritious, and thoroughly comforting homemade meal.

Ingredients for New York Strip Roast with Rosemary-Orange Crust and Herbed Butter
1 (5-pound) New York strip roast (also called beef strip loin or top loin), fat trimmed to 1/4", untied
5 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
2 oil-packed anchovy fillets, drained
8 garlic cloves, peeled
1/4 cup coarsely chopped rosemary leaves
2 tablespoons finely grated orange zest (from about 2 large oranges)
45ml olive oil
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
30g plain breadcrumbs
110g (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
1/4 cup (packed) parsley leaves
How to make New York Strip Roast with Rosemary-Orange Crust and Herbed Butter
Pat roast dry and rub all over with 1 teaspoon salt; set aside.
Purée anchovies, garlic, rosemary, orange zest, oil, pepper, and remaining 4 teaspoons salt in a food processor until finely chopped, about 1 minute. Transfer all but 1 tablespoon garlic mixture to a medium bowl; reserve remaining garlic mixture in food processor.
Rub roast all over with half of garlic mixture from bowl. Place fat side up on a wire rack set in a rimmed baking sheet or in a roasting pan fitted with a rack. Add breadcrumbs to remaining garlic mixture in bowl, mix thoroughly with your fingers, and press onto top and sides of roast. Let stand at room temperature at least 1 hour.
Meanwhile, add butter and parsley to reserved 1 tablespoon garlic mixture in food processor and pulse until well combined. Transfer to parchment paper and roll into a log. Chill until firm, about 2 hours.
Place rack in middle of oven; preheat to 260°C. Place roast in oven, then reduce temperature to 177°C. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the centre of roast registers 49°C for rare or 54°C for medium-rare, 70–90 minutes.
Transfer roast to a carving board and let stand 15 minutes. Slice against the grain into 1/3" pieces. Serve with herbed butter.
