Steakhouse · 224 g
This is a premium cut of beef, specifically the striploin, also known as the New York strip. It comes from the short loin of the cow. The striploin is prized for its balance of tenderness and flavor. It has a fine grain and a good amount of marbling, which is the intramuscular fat that melts during cooking, adding moisture and richness to the meat. This particular package contains 224 grams of striploin, offering a substantial portion for a single serving or to be shared.
Beef striploin is a versatile cut that can be prepared in many ways, from simple pan-searing to grilling.
To cook beef striploin, begin by bringing the steak to room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. Season generously with salt and pepper. For pan-searing, heat a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat with a little oil. Sear the steak for a few minutes per side until a nice crust forms. You can finish cooking it in the oven or continue on the stovetop to your desired level of doneness. For grilling, preheat your grill and cook over direct heat, turning once. Let the steak rest for 5-10 minutes after cooking before slicing.
Compared to cuts like ribeye, striploin is generally leaner with a more uniform texture. It lacks the large cap of fat found on a ribeye but still offers excellent marbling for a tender and flavorful result. Its shape is also more rectangular and consistent.

To store uncooked beef striploin, keep it in its original packaging in the coldest part of your refrigerator. It is best to cook it within 1-2 days of purchase. If you need to store it for longer, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or place it in a freezer bag and freeze it.
