About this cut

What it is and how to use it

The New York strip comes from the top loin, a muscle along the back that does little work, so the meat is tender with a fine, firm texture. It has less marbling than a ribeye but good beef flavor, and a thin cap of fat along one edge. It is usually sold boneless and cut one to one and a half inches thick. It is a classic steakhouse cut for grilling or pan-searing.

Cook’s tipCook to at least 145°F and rest three minutes. Start fat side down to render some of the fat if you like.
