Primal cuts of beef are divided into subprimals, like the loin, to be cut into steaks and roasts. The striploin comes from the loin subprimal and is the source of New York strip steaks, one of the most popular steakhouse cuts. Imagine a substantial 14-pound roast with the flavor and firm texture of a strip steak. Gold Grade elevates the marbling of this consequential cut to an amazing level with a rating on the Japanese Beef Marbling Scale of 9 or greater. That takes our American Wagyu striploin well above USDA Prime for elevated dining usually reserved for the most exclusive clubs and restaurants.
It’s a simple and rewarding experience to cut this large subprimal into steaks and roasts yourself. One SRF Gold strip loin yields four Manhattan roasts or multiple strip steaks. Since the marbling is so extravagant, smaller steaks cut from the striploin, like a Manhattan filet, produce a luxurious and satisfying steak dinner.
Average weight: 14 pounds. This is a natural product, so the actual weight can vary by +/- 0.5 pounds.

All Snake River Farms American Wagyu beef grades above Prime. Special breeds of cattle like Japanese Wagyu are capable of producing marbling beyond their American counterparts. To grade this high level of marbling, we adopted the Japanese Beef Marbling Score.
Using BMS, beef marbling is measured on a scale from 1 to 12, with a 1 being Select beef and a 12 being the highest level of marbling possible.
BMS 4 to 5 USDA Prime
BMS 6 to 8 SRF Black Grade
BMS 9+ SRF Gold Grade
The strip loin is sourced from the longissimus dorsi muscle located within the loin primal. This lengthy muscle starts in the rib primal and extends to the round primal. The section of longissimus near the round is called the “sirloin end” and has a crescent shaped piece of connective tissue. The slices are cut from this part of the muscle. The chewy fiber breaks down from heat when cooked.
Fast fact: The muscle of the strip loin is adjacent to the spine bone and on top of the finger bone so it is sometimes referred to as the top loin.
Once you start cooking with Snake River Farms, you’ll discover why our customers say they’re too spoiled for anything else.
