- How to pick a good one
- Look for even marbling and a fat cap along one edge that is white rather than yellow. Strip steaks have a tighter grain than ribeye, so a uniformly lean one will be noticeably chewier. Avoid steaks with a thick band of gristle running through them.
- What a good price looks like
- Usually $10 to $17 a pound, generally a dollar or two under ribeye. Under $10 is a good price. It is the middle of the premium steak range: more forgiving than filet, less rich than ribeye, and the most straightforward of the three to cook well.
- What you actually get
- A 10 oz strip cooks to about 8 oz, roughly 20% loss, slightly less than a ribeye because there is less fat to render. One steak is one serving. Trimming the outer fat strip costs another ounce or so.
- How to store it
- Three to five days refrigerated. Bring it to room temperature for twenty to thirty minutes before cooking so the middle is not still cold when the outside is done.
- In the kitchen
- Leaner and firmer than a ribeye with a distinct fat strip along one edge that will not fully render in a quick cook — score it if you want it to. Strip steak has a defined grain and it matters: slice across it, not along it. It benefits more than ribeye from finishing in a lower oven after the sear, since there is less internal fat to keep it moist.
- Getting the most out of it
- Leaner than ribeye and less forgiving — a couple of minutes too long makes a real difference. Cook it hot and fast, pull it earlier than you think, and always slice against the grain, which on a strip runs the length of the steak.
