DESCRIPTIVE QUALITIES: The king of meat! This prime NY center cut beautifully marbeled and the perfect steak. A natural beef that meets our extremely high standards for taste, texture and marbling. The USDA applies the term "natural" to foods which are minimally processed and without added enhancers or ingredients. We insist the beef we source is raised without the use of added hormones or antibiotics and is pasture raised and finished on a vegetarian diet of grains and grasses. This brings out the marbling and provides a high level of grading.

BEHIND THE PRODUCT: A close relative of the Porterhouse or the T-bone, the Center Cut New York Strip is a juicy, tender morsel derived from the heart of the beef short loin. The short loin is a sweet spot for marbling — an indispensable catalyst of flavor and moisture retention in steak.
Classic steakhouse flavor with a firm, satisfying bite, balanced marbling, and a rich, juicy finish.

Pat dry, season with salt, and cook according to the specific cut. Use high heat to build a crust, finish gently as needed, and rest before slicing.

The USDA Prime Standard

The balanced American steakhouse cut

NY strip offers more structure and concentrated beef flavor than filet, with less overall richness than ribeye.

What makes USDA Prime exceptional

The USDA grade establishes a high quality standard, while the cut, aging method, and preparation determine the final eating experience.

USDA Prime
GRADE

USDA Prime

The USDA’s highest beef quality grade, awarded for abundant marbling and maturity associated with tenderness, juiciness, and flavor.

Every cut is different
CUT

Every cut is different

Filet emphasizes tenderness, New York strip emphasizes beef flavor, ribeye emphasizes marbling, and porterhouse combines strip and filet.

Aging, when specified
AGING

Aging, when specified

Dry-aged products develop concentrated flavor and tenderness. The product-specific metafields identify that character without implying every Prime cut is dry-aged.

The Method

Respect the cut

Prime filet, strip, ribeye, porterhouse, and roasts each reward a slightly different approach.

Dry & season

Pat the steak dry and season simply so the specific cut remains the focus.

Sear

Use high heat to build a deep crust, then finish according to the cut and thickness.

Rest & slice

Rest before slicing so juices settle. Slice against the grain where appropriate.

Why USDA Prime

Steakhouse quality, chosen by the cut

A precise grade plus product-specific selection makes it easier to choose the right steak for your table.

The grade

USDA Prime sets a high benchmark for marbling and eating quality.

The selection

Each product profile explains the cut’s own balance of flavor, tenderness, and richness.

The versatility

Choose filet for tenderness, strip for beef flavor, ribeye for richness, or porterhouse for two textures in one steak.

If I don't personally love it, I won't sell it. And I'm picky.
