The New York Strip is the half-brother of the T-Bone Steak. Confused? Play along with me for a moment. The T-bone steak gets its name because it has a bone that is shaped like a “T”. On one side of the bone is a strip steak. On the other is a piece of tenderloin filet. Hence, the T-bone is really two steaks in one.
Where The New York Strip is Located
The Strip is harvested from the? “short loin” section of a beef. The tenderloin section extends into the short loin. That’s why the T-bone cut has both a strip steak and a piece of tenderloin filet.
A strip steak without the bone is called a “New York Strip Steak”. When a bone is left attached to the strip, it is either called a “Bone-in New York” or sometimes a “Kansas City Strip.

Also Known By Other Names
Mostly the strip is known by its most popular name of New York Strip. But sometimes it’s simply called a Strip Steak. In Canada it is sometimes called a Strip Loin or Shell Steak. In Australia the strip is often called a Boneless Sirloin.

The strip is prized for its fine texture and buttery flavor. It is moderately tender and has good
fat marbling. It is a tasty option to the rib eye steak which has significantly more fat content.
