New York strip

[RobertC]

It's called a NY Strip because when held sideways it looks like the state of New York. Go take a look at a map.

[realdocBBQ]

I dunno.... a bit of a stretch maybe. Looks more like Tennesee or maybe Nebraska to me. lol

[TripleB]

Yeah, NY Strip looks more like Tennessee than NY. Now a T-Bone steak looks like the outline of NY. But the strip.....naw.

[FireMan]

Just ordered one in a restaurant yesterday. Ordered it rare cuz they don't seem to unnerstand medium rare and over cook it. It came delivered to my table 44% gristle and cooked dead,
as in well done. Didn't even take a bite. Refused it and had salmon which was cooked nicely. NY gristle it was.

[FireMan]

It was the first time I have ordered one in many, many moons. I agree Purc , it will be many moons before I do it again.

[Santamarina]

I only order steak out if it’s a nice steakhouse who’s known for quality cuts cooked right.

[Huskee]

That is always my experience, always, when ordering steaks at restaurants. No seasoning, gristle-fest, and overcooked. The last time I ordered one it was at a Lucky's steak house, a nicer steakhouse as far as chains go, much nicer than a Texas Roadhouse or Logan's. Yet, there it was, underseasoned, over-gristled, and overcooked, as feared and as predicted. I don't do it anymore. Can't.

[Purc]

Now, the steak wars start:

Albany tavern owner to sue Texas over proposed steak name change

NYC steakhouses beef with Texas over push to rename the New York strip: ‘Remember the Alamo’

Really....? On both sides.

[Panhead John]

Entertaining and ridiculous at the same time. 🙄

[jfmorris]

Remember the Alama! Hahah.... this is getting into awesomely comic territory...

[realdocBBQ]

This dude filing the lawsuit needs someone from Texas to come and whip his stupid NY ass. Hell, someone from anywhere to come and kick his ass.

[Murdy]

I imagine this will go over about as well as the attempt to rename pork chops t-bone chops or rib-eye chops or the Sears Tower the Willis Tower.

[jfmorris]

What'choo talkin' 'bout, Willis?

[Donw]

The voice and music that kept us company on long Dakota nights. “WLS coming to you from the top of the Sears Tower.” I miss those days and nights.

[Spinaker]

I still call it Sears Tower.

When I was a kid I was obsessed with the Sears tower. My Dad took me along when he traveled to Chicago on a work trip and we got to go up in the tower and I thought I was on my way to the moon while in that elevator! it was so cool. Plus, what a cool building on the skyline! I love it to this day.

[Spinaker]

Yeah, this is called "trolling" apparently everyone like to engage in it now. Lucky us.

[Alan Brice]

Perfect analogy.

[Steve R.]

Also known as "engagement farming." It's quickly becoming our #1 agricultural product. lol

[Spinaker]

Indeed, just like the internet version.....it's intellectually lazy and usually fueled by booze. LOL. SheilaAnn

[Santamarina]

Never wondered why it was called a NY steak enough to look it up. Don’t care much what they call it…it’s one of my favorite steaks!

[Panhead John]

+1

[Spinaker]

Why do they call it that? I will now go look it up. I honestly never really thought about it. Which, I will admit, is strange.

[Clark]

I like the Las Vegas Strip.

[realdocBBQ]

"landing strip" works for me. lol

[Spinaker]

It was in Con Air!!! realdocBBQ

[fitzoo7]

This reminds me of when University of Texas wanted the Big 12 to ban “horns down”.

[58limited]

Yeah, and everyone flashed them the single finger Uni-Horn.

[GolfGeezer]

And Chicken Pot Pie - there’s no pot in it! Well, maybe in a few homes now that I think about it.

[Oak Smoke]

Now that’s funny!

[jfmorris]

Well, I am guessing that the housewife of 200 years ago only had one cooking vessel - a cast iron pot - to make about anything she needed to make. I.e. no pie pan.

[GolfGeezer]

jfmorris - different kind of "pot"....😁

[Huskee]

How about we use the non-geographical and non-clouty, non-claimy "strip steak"? It's beef flesh, it's not about a city or a state. You know, participation trophy style, since we're all winners, every one of us who make this great steak regardless of the chunk of dirt we call home or who first added it to their menu.

[Huskee]

jfmorris I would love to see a woman's reaction to that question

[jfmorris]

Huskee Right!

My wife is one of those that loves steak, pork, chicken, etc, but doesn't want to actually think about where the food comes from. If the kids ever started asking where the meat came from, she would tell them to hush. If folks start talking about the actual animals the meat came from, she'll lose her appetite and stop eating. Very squeamish. I am just happy I have her eating med-well and sometimes medium steaks these days, without dousing them in A1!

[jfmorris]

Honey.... how would you like your beef flesh strip cooked tonight?

[Spinaker]

Ribeyes are better anyway.

[GolfGeezer]

Spinaker Glad to see you love California Ribeye!!

[Oak Smoke]

Spinaker +1 on the ribeye.

[Spinaker]

Hahaha, Might have to change the name to MN Ribeye. That is a frozen ribeye you have to eat. You never know......it might catch on. GolfGeezer

[jfmorris]

I can't wait to cook up some Alabama beef flesh strip steak when the weather warms up...

[Spinaker]

I'm gonna go against the grain here and call it a strip steak. Or the longissimus, that might be the right thing to do. Since that is the latin name and it makes me feel like a doctor.

[Alan Brice]

Porkopolis, Beef flavored Flesh Strip.

[58limited]

Strip shaped beef flavored meat product.

[Donw]

This discussion certainly brings to mind a quote from Molly Ivins concerning a certain Texas official.
“If his IQ slips any lower, we’ll have to water him twice a day.” 🙂

[Purc]

Not to offend the other 25 letters in the alphabet, I'm grilling a bone in piece of beef flesh today.

[yakima]

Beef flesh may be wrong. Beef muscle instead.
