NY Strip Steak

This isthe steak to serve at a white-tablecloth dinner — or to a discerning rancher!

This steak (AKA Kansas City Strip, Ambassador Steak) was made world famous by Delmonico's Restaurant in New York City, which explains one of its names. The uptown New York City connection is a little ironic; this steak is also a favorite with ranchers all across cattle country — and these people know their beef.

The popularity is based onhow beautifully this steak grills, tastes, and serves on the plate. Its heavymarbling assures flavor and tenderness, and, as a single-muscle, boneless steak, it's very simple for your diners to trim and slice on their plates.
