USDA Prime Bone-in New York Strip (20 oz.)

About this Cut

Our USDA Prime Bone-in New York Strip, also known as a Kansas City strip, is a cut that combines the rich marbling and robust flavor of the ribeye with the tenderness of the filet. The bone-in presentation enhances the steak's juiciness and adds an extra depth of flavor during cooking. Grilled to perfection, the New York Strip boasts a caramelized exterior and a juicy, tender interior, offering a perfect balance of savory taste and succulent texture. This is one of the best options for anyone looking for a smaller cut of USDA prime beef.

Cooking Method: Start by seasoning the steak generously with salt and pepper. Preheat your grill or skillet to high heat. Sear the steak on each side for about 2-3 minutes to achieve a nice crust, then reduce the heat to medium and continue cooking for another 4-6 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer if desired.

Recommended Temperature:  Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 130-135°F (54-57°C) for medium-rare or 140-145°F (60-63°C) for medium.

USDA Prime Beef

USDA Prime beef stands at the pinnacle of the American grading system for beef, representing the highest level of quality based on marbling, tenderness, and flavor. This prestigious classification is awarded to only a small percentage of all beef produced in the United States, making it a symbol of luxury and culinary excellence. The distinctive characteristic of USDA Prime beef is its abundant marbling - the fine threads of fat interwoven within the muscle - which is a key determinant of both flavor and juiciness. This marbling ensures that each bite is exceptionally tender, succulent, and rich in taste, elevating the dining experience to new heights. Sourced from young, well-fed cattle, USDA Prime beef is sought after by top chefs and discerning home cooks who demand the best for their culinary creations. Whether it's grilled to perfection as a steak, slow-roasted to enhance its flavors, or meticulously prepared for a gourmet dish, USDA Prime beef delivers a consistently superior taste and texture. For those who appreciate the art of cooking with only the finest ingredients, USDA Prime beef offers a benchmark of excellence that is unmatched in the world of meat.

Grass-Fed, Grain-Finished Beef

Not to be confused with 100% grass fed beef which tends to be much leaner and have more of an earthy flavor, our beef is grass-fed, grain-finished which offers a unique balance of flavor and tenderness, combining the best aspects of both feeding practices. These cattle are raised initially on pastures, where they graze on a natural grass diet. Towards the end of their lives, these cattle are transitioned to a grain-based diet, which enhances marbling — the intramuscular fat that makes beef juicier and more flavorful. This allows for a healthier cow, while still achieving the tenderness and delicious beef flavor that comes from a diet of grains.

This method not only improves the meat’s tenderness and palatability but also allows the beef to retain some of the health benefits of being grass-fed, such as higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants compared to conventionally raised beef. Consumers who choose grass-fed, grain-finished beef enjoy a product that strikes a desirable balance between health benefits and culinary appeal, making it a popular choice for those looking to enjoy high-quality, flavorful beef with enhanced nutritional properties.

Antibiotic and Hormone-Free Beef

All of our cows are raised free of any hormones or antibiotics. This practice ensures that the meat is as natural as possible, reducing consumer exposure to these substances. The absence of antibiotics in the raising of these animals helps prevent the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, a significant benefit for public health. Additionally, hormone-free meat often has better taste and quality. By choosing antibiotic and hormone-free meat, consumers support more natural animal husbandry practices and contribute to a healthier environment, while also enjoying safer and more flavorful meat.
