The New York Strip is a top steakhouse cut and our USDA Prime rendition features generous marbling and measures 1 ½ inches in thickness. It is outstanding on the grill or skillet with exceptional flavor and texture.
This Double R Ranch USDA Prime New York strip is an elevated version of a classic steakhouse steak. Each New York strip is hand-cut 1 1/2 inches thick and has the rich marbling that is indicative of USDA Prime beef grade. Just 4 to 5% of all beef in the United States achieves this top quality grade. Fans of the New York strip wax poetically about the high level of intramuscular fat, the firm, but tender bite and the hearty beef flavor that all come together in this traditional cut.
This steak is USDA Prime, the highest level of marbling recognized by the USDA.
Beef sold in the U.S. is graded by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). There are eight total grades and the top grade is USDA Prime.
The USDA describes Choice as “high quality, but has less marbling than Prime” which means our beef at this level is excellent Only about 4 to 5% of all beef graded in the U.S. has marbling to grade at this level. You can sometimes find USDA Prime at local butchers and higher-end grocery stores, but most of it goes to high end steakhouses and restaurants. Prime beef has excellent flavor and tenderness.
Marbling, or intramuscular fat, is the most important factor used to grade beef in the U.S. and around the world. This is determined by a visual inspection of the amount and distribution of intramuscular fat between the 12th and 13th rib. Historically, this single inspection provides a correct indicator of the entire carcass.Â
Double R Ranch USDA Prime and Choice New York strip steaks are rich with marbling and cut a full 1.5" thick. The Steakhouse and Reverse Sear methods work well with these steaks.
Be sure to completely thaw your steak before cooking.
Internal temperature is the most accurate way to know if your steak is done. Keep a good quality thermometer on hand.
Rest your steak at least 10 minutes before serving to let the internal temperature equalize and allow the juices to be reabsorbed.
Slice steak against the grain – 90° to the direction of the muscle fibers. This makes for a more tender bite.
Finish your steak with a light sprinkle of flaky salt for a nice presentation and an appetizing salty crunch.
The New York strip is cut from the loin primal, which is between the rib and round. These steaks are cut from the longissimus dorsi muscle. this is the same muscle as the center eye of the ribeye. New York strips and ribeyes come from opposite ends of this same muscle.
The ribeye side of the longissimus is round in shape while the strip side is elongated. The muscle varies in more than shape from end to end. The amount of marbling is greater on the rib side and decreases on the loin side.
It's generally (but not unanimously) agreed that boneless strip loin steaks are called New York strips and bone-in steaks are called Kansas City strip steaks.
