I got 2 massive bone-in NY steaks a couple weeks ago for $8/lb. Then I picked up 4 huge boneless NY steaks at $9/lb from Costco this weekend. Choice, not Prime, but still better than a kick in the ass. Oh, and here's the kicker: I live in San Diego. This isn't Amarillo, where you get God's own cow for a buck; this is chicken country (Foster Farms FTW).

What the hell is going on? Like, literally everything else is expensive as fuck, massive increase in price, but suddenly NY Steaks are cheap as hell.

Still yummy. burp

What the fuck is a NY steak? Like a Peter Luger or a Gallegher steak? Guarantee those aren't cheap

No, a T-bone includes the filet. It's basically a T-bone without the filet.

NY strip steak. And you call yourself a Texan...

HEB routinely has NY boneless strips on sale for $5-6/lb. They are select grade but often will be more like choice with pretty good marbling.

Yeah, but that's Texas. Y'all have a lotta cows there. Seeing that here in California? And all at once...

Clearly you've never driven past Harris Ranch on the 5 in Central CA. Thousands of cows that you can smell for miles

I get the 4 pack of prime NY strips from H‑E‑B often. Like $9.99/pound.

I grew up just a tad north of Chino CA, and that was dairy cow heaven.   Great weather, etc.   it was a great place to be a high school kid, because you and your buddies could fine a deserted street in dairyland, crank up KMET-FM on everybody's car stereos, and pound beers/fight/fuck in peace.  

The Real Estate got too expensive, and the cows all headed north around 1995 or so.  But yeah, SoCal was a Cowtown for a very long time.

I need to shop at your HEB.  They're almost $20/lb in Austin.

Never mind. They’re more expensive than I thought. I just look at my order for today.

Hey, I'll tell you what. You can get a good look at a butcher's ass by sticking your head up there. But, wouldn't you rather to take his word for it?

I think it's, ". . . you can get a good look at a t-bone by sticking your head up a bull's ass, but I'd rather take the butcher's word for it."

 

But you do you.

Apparently corporate greed doesn’t extend to NY strip steaks (boneless or bone-in). Must be one of those weird loophole’s.

A Kansas City strip.

Are strips a less popular cut? I know at my HEB butcher case, they seem to always be short on Ribeyes and Tenderloin, but have a full case of Strips.

yea, exactly my thought. When I go to a steakhouse with a work group, the guys always order Ribeyes, the women get filets. (The ones that don't get the fish or a salad anyway)

When I get steaks at the store, I always go Prime Ribeye and a filet for Mrs Rojo. When my kids were younger they would split a strip, now the boy eats a ribeye by himself and my daughter asks for salmon or some shit.

That seems to be the general pattern.

I also prefer ribeye as fav cut, but buying preference goes like this:  marbling -> thickness -> price -> buy.  Basically its visual appeal first and the specific cut later.

No.  It's gotta be your bull.

We eat ribeyes (bone-in) when they have them, and filets. Wagyu NY strips are really good as well. There is a place called The Purple Goat in Stephenville that has a Wagyu NY strip that is as good as any ribeye I have ever eaten.

I think point in order is called for here, there is only 4 ribeye steaks in a beef, the rest are rib steaks.

Yeah, but the prices I've seen around here for choice are just a buck a pound above decent ground beef. That's just getting silly. I'll eat nothing but NY strips at that price. Hell ... I'll grind it for my burgers at that price. And this is NOT the normal price range for them. They're usually in the teens per pound.

Given that the price on everything else seems to have gone up, it's just weird to see.

I don't think any of this means what you think it means.

NY Strip with bone plus small amount of filet attached is a t-bone.
NY Strip with bone plus large amount of filet attached is a porterhouse.

Oddly enough.  I'd never heard the term NY Strip until I moved back to Texas.  We just called them shell steaks in NYC.

When I was a kid, we went to New York (probably around 1983 or so).  They definitely were called New York strip steaks by a number of restaurants back then, and I ate a bunch of them.

Well my friends were rich and we only ate at the best steak houses.  Maybe you were poor

It's all relative, I suppose.  But without making a case for it, I'll just say I don't recall that being the case.  But my dad grew up poor.  So while we may have been less refined in a foodie sense (entirely possible), we didn't eat at dumps.  But I can't for the life of me remember where we ate on that trip.

So as a side note and a question for the older crowd, has the ribeye always been the darling of the steak eating crowd.  Growing up, we had a ranch we went to on the weekends and steak always was on the menu (beef processed from our cattle).  So I'm sure there were ribeyes here and there, but what I remember vividly is my dad grilling strips for all of us on the weekends.  That man could grill a good steak and he loved a good steak.  So my question is did the ribeye overtake the strip as the premier cut at some point or did my old man just have a preference that went against the popular notion?

Creekstone Farms runs sales on a 6 pack of prime strip steaks every few months.  They are a pretty good deal considering how great they are.

Biggest, cheapest NY steak you're gonna find. About $8.99 lb. Pretty sure they have lots of these just north of SD

ny strip is by far my least favorite cut of beef.  it does nothing well.  it's the red delicious of steaks.

Against popular notion or not -- your Dad wasn't wrong.

I'm on team NY Strip.  I like the texture and flavor.  Ribeyes and filets are great for making steak tartare.

I too am team NY Strip. I’d go so far as to say that while I will eat a ribeye if presented to me, a) i never buy them to cook at home, and b) they would be my third choice of meat in a restaurant behind strip and filet.

Team NY Strip, for both of the reasons you state.

I love a good ribeye, too, though.

Filet is fine but definitely my least favorite of the 3.
