It is now grilling season finally and I love a great NY strip steak. I find when I go t the store and ask questions they always want to sell me the Angus. For NY strip that can get a little costly. Can you help?
Sincerely,
Joe and Stacy
Dear Joe And Stacy,
Great question. When buying a great steak you have to decide a few thing. 1. How much am I willing to Spend? If you spend to little you may be disappointed, to much you may feel taken. For a NY strip steak the best way to decide this is to ask yourself "what am I doing with the steak?" If you are just grilling it with S&P then all means go with the Angus. If you like a little extra flavor with you steak then we would go for a center cut, with great marbling {the little white lines in the meat}. Just be sure that there is no grizzle in the meat. You can distinguish this when you see a thick clearish line down the middle by the fat side. It will look like fat but trust us it's not. The cost for this type will be much lower then Angus by about $2-$5 a pound. 2. The best question to ask yourself and it may be a little greedy but you have to look at who you are serving. If you are serving friends who just eat to live then choose a lower cost steak. If you are serving people who live to eat then spend a little more, you will be invited to some really good dinners in the future. For size of the steak it is up to you. If you go to a good butcher if you can find one these days they will have no problem cutting you whatever size you want. For a NY strip steak we would say for a small or average size about 8 oz. for a MANLY steak 16 oz. will do it. Any larger you will not have room for a baked potato.
If you have any other questions on this let us know.
