( May 2016 ) Strip steak Beef Cuts Type Short loin cut of beef Grilled Kansas City strip steak topped with onions and mushrooms The strip steak is a cut of beef steaks from the short loin from a cow. It consists of a muscle that does little work, the longissimus, making the meat particularly tender, although not as tender as the nearby psoas major or tenderloin. Fat content of the strip is somewhere between the two cuts. Unlike the tenderloin, the longissimus is a sizable muscle, allowing it to be cut into larger portions.

In New Zealand and Australia, it is known as Porterhouse and Sirloin ( striploin steak ) and can be found in the Handbook of Australian Meat under codes 2140 to 2143. In the UK and Ireland it is called sirloin. In Canada, most meat purveyors refer to this cut as a strip loin ; in French it is known as contre - filet. Delmonico 's Restaurant, an operation opened in New York City in 1827, offered as one of its signature dishes a cut from the short loin called a Delmonico steak. Due to its association with the city, it is often referred to as a New York strip steak. Related Cuts When still attached to the bone, and with a piece of the tenderloin also included, the strip steak becomes a T - bone steak or a porterhouse steak, the difference being that the porterhouse has a larger portion of tenderloin included. The strip steak may be sold with or without the bone. Strip steaks may be substituted for most recipes calling for T - bone and porterhouse steaks, and sometimes for fillet and rib eye steaks. A bone - in strip steak with no tenderloin attached is sometimes referred to as a shell steak.
