When the tenderloin strip has been
removed from the short loin, the remaining meat is then cut into individual
steaks of the thickness desired. The correct name for such steaks is shell.
However, restaurants are apt to call them by various other names: New York
strip, Kansas City strip, or just plain strip steak.
A shell steak is easily identified in your meat market. It looks exactly like a
porterhouse or T-bone without the tenderloin.
Ideal
for one person, these steaks can be cut in any width you wish, from 1 to 2.5
inches or thicker.
What to Avoid When Buying Steaks:
1. Steaks with to much marbling. Or no marbling.
2.Meat that has a deep red color.
3. Steaks with a coarse texture.
4. Fat that has a yellowish or grayish color. |
