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.

These strips are known for their succulent and juicy texture. Often seasoned with a blend of spices or marinated for added flavor, they are commonly grilled or pan-seared to perfection
