We explore the effect of doping on the correlated electronic structure of strained graphene. It is shown that the interplay between sizable multiorbital Coulomb interactions and electron-hole doping induces an orbital-selective electronic state, characterized by the coexistence of $\ensuremath{\pi}$-band Dirac-Kondo quasiparticles and emergent $\ensuremath{\sigma}$-band metallicity. The underlying orbital selectivity in the presence of spin-polarized electron bands, relevant to experiments of strained graphene proximitized to magnetic ions, shows coexistent Mott-localized and semimetal electronic states with, respectively, $\ensuremath{\pi}$- and $\ensuremath{\sigma}$-orbital character. Our results provide the theoretical foundations for understanding the intricate and interdependent changes in orbital degrees of freedom in strained carbon-based materials, and they open up an avenue to systematic studies of quantum many-body effects in correlated Dirac fermion systems.
