NEW YORK STRIP FACTS

Ever wonder how the New York Strip may have gotten a name that references the Big Apple? Maybe you are curious about how this steak differs from the other prime cuts we serve up at Steak Loft. In this article, we’ll fill you in on all there is to know about this prime cut of meat.

A STEAK NAMED FOR THE CITY THAT NEVER SLEEPS

Most of what you hear about New York City does not lead you to think of this bustling city as a place where cattle are raised. So, how then, did the New York Strip get its name?

You may recall Delmonico’s – a renowned Manhattan restaurant – from our look at the ribeye steak earlier in the blog series. It seems that Delmonico’s is also credited with serving a cut of meat from the short loin, which was later named the New York Strip after the city where it reportedly originated.

A STEAK BY MANY OTHER NAMES IS STILL A NEW YORK STRIP

Although the New York Strip is believed to have originated in New York City, it is a favorite in many regions of the U.S. and abroad, and has accumulated quite a list of names, including:

  • Ambassador Steak
  • Boneless Club Steak
  • Hotel-Style Steak
  • Kansas City Steak
  • New York Steak
  • Top Loin
  • Veiny Steak
  • Club Steak
  • Delmonico Steak

In addition to the names above, this steak is also sometimes called a Shell Steak when the bone is left in, and a porterhouse, sirloin or strip-loin steak in New Zealand and Australia.

NEW YORK STRIP ON THE MENU

If you are looking to enjoy a rich, tender cut of steak that is firmer and less marbled than a ribeye, you’ll find what you’re looking for in the New York Strip – and you’ll find it at Steak Loft.
