Type of beef steak
The strip steak (also known as the New York strip in the United States, sirloin steak in Britain, South Africa, and Australasia, also porterhouse steak in Australasia) is a cut of beef steaks from the short loin of a steer. It consists of a muscle that does little work, the longissimus, making the meat particularly tender,[1] although not as tender as the nearby psoas major or tenderloin. Unlike the tenderloin, the longissimus is a sizable muscle, allowing it to be cut into larger portions.
