Yes. And they can be very tasty, last weekend I had a delicious NY strip au poivre.[/quote]

They are the same, but you can get them in varying thicknesses. Also go for the Top Sirloin if you want a more tender piece. Sirloin (NY Strip, KC Strip, Top Loin) are usually more flavorful, but tend to be a little less tender than some other cuts.

If so, they suck. They are just too thin, and are not tender at all.[/quote]

They taste better when they are called NY Strips.

Because New York is famous for all things beef related, and was one of the first states to have a railhead to transfer cattle, at Abilene, New York, I beleive?

I grew up in upstate NY. Lots of cows but mostly for dairy.

CUBE STEAK

Not the most delicious of the steaks, but the amount of (still pretty tasty) cube steak you get for the price of a top sirloin can’t be beat.

I’m a sirloin man myself, never really enjoyed fillet steak. Found it more expensive and less flavorsome.

Does anybody have different preferences about different types of cow? I like Irish Angus and have heard very good things about Colby.

Please clarify something for me:

  1. Does Sirloin (NY Strip, KC Strip, Top Loin) = NY STEAK?

  2. Does STRIPLOIN = Sirloin (NY Strip, KC Strip, Top Loin)? I see the term STRIPLOIN being used at the supermarket.

thanks

this should answer all questions about cuts:

if you have freezer space, consider buying some grass fed in bulk, you will save lots of cash monies and have beef the way nature intended.

Are you talking about Kobe steak from Japan? If so, this is supposed to be the King of steaks.

From Wikipedia:

"Kobe beef refers to beef from the black Tajima-ushi breed of Wagyu cattle, raised according to strict tradition in Hyogo Prefecture, Japan. Kobe is the capital of Hyogo Prefecture. Wagyu (“Japanese Cattle”) are renowned for flavor, tenderness, and fatty well-marbled texture, qualities enhanced by the traditional (and well guarded) methods of raising Kobe beef. Tajima-ushi cattle reportedly receive regular massages with Japanese rice wine and are fed hops.

Japan claims Kobe beef as a geographical indication- it may only be called that if raised and slaughtered in Hyogo Prefecture, Japan. Outside of Japan, the meat is usually sold as “Kobe style beef” or “Wagyu”."

au poivre = with pepper.

Grilled New York steaks. Yum.

I recently started buying a cut called a Flat Iron Steak.
Very tender but priced like a sirlion.

Here’s what wikipedia has to say about it:

“second most tender behind tenderion”
