A NY Strip is a “strip” steak cut from the Short Loin primal, located on the cattle’s back behind the rib. The muscles in this primal, which contains the spine, get more “work” in the animal’s every day movements than the neighboring ribs, yielding a leaner steak and one that is fat and is revered for its beefy flavor and firm chew.
For centuries, Uruguay has been at the forefront of sustainable cattle ranching, long before “sustainability” became a buzzword. Sitting atop one of the largest freshwater aquifers on Earth and free of environmental pollution, its vast pastures are the perfect environment for raising cattle. Here, we partner with small family farms, where gauchos meticulously care for both their herds of Black Angus cattle and the treasured pastures they graze on. The cattle spend their entire lives grazing exclusively on this nutrient rich grass. The end product is a rich and tender beef, leaner than its grain-finished counterpart and high in Omega-3 fatty acids.
