This out-of-the-ordinary steak starts with our SRF Black® New York Strip that is dry-aged a minimum of 30 days to intensify the natural flavors and enhance tenderness. The New York strip has a storied history and is the go-to cut for many discerning steakhouse patrons. These dry-aged, boneless steaks are hand-cut to a wonderfully thick 1½ inches and are superior to New York strips served at most steakhouses. The target weight for each steak is 14 ounces.

Snake River Farms dry-aged beef represents a higher echelon for our American Wagyu steaks. Our partner, Prime Food Distributor, developed a proprietary method with strict protocols and quantifiable performance standards at every stage of the dry-aging process. When our beef is received, it is measured and tagged so it can be tracked electronically from start to finish. Large sub-primal cuts are aged in a meticulously controlled dry-aging environment for a minimum of 30 days.

New York strip steaks are full of marbling and are best cooked medium rare to medium to allow the intramuscular fat to liquify and distribute throughout the steak.

The reverse sear, heating the steak at a low temperature and finishing in a skillet, produces an evenly cooked interior. A final sear in a cast iron skillet creates a flavorful, savory crust.

This is one of our favorite steaks for grilling. Although New York strips are highly marbled, they do not have the large sections of fat like a ribeye and are not as prone to flare ups.

The grain of the New York strip runs across the short side of the steak. Cut the steak diagonally across the grain for the most tender texture.

Find answers to our customers' most commonly asked questions.

How to cook the New York strip

For 1.5” steaks, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add a light coat of vegetable oil to the skillet. Season steaks with salt and pepper. Place steaks in hot skillet and sear for 4 minutes, turning once. If a steak sticks to the skillet, it’s not ready to turn. Wait until it releases on its own. Place skillet in a 350°F oven for 10 to 20 minutes depending on desired doneness. Turn once halfway through the cooking time. Internal temperature is the most accurate way to know if your steak is done. Keep a good quality thermometer on hand. Remove from oven when preferred internal temperature is reached. Remove steaks from skillet and cover loosely with aluminum foil. Let stand 5 to 10 minutes. The steaks will continue to cook and the temperature will rise about 5°F. Learn how to cook any steak perfectly.

What is dry-aged beef?

Snake River Farms have partnered with the Prime Food Distributor out of New York to deliver a dry-aged experience unmatched by anyone in the industry. Their proprietary system carefully controls and measures every step of the dry-aging process. Lighting, airflow, humidity, temperature, and cleanliness are carefully controlled to create an environment which produces the purest essence of beef. All subprimals are aged to a minimum of 30 days and cut to perfection by master butchers.

Wet-Aged vs. Dry-Aged

At its most basic, dry-aging involves allowing large primal cuts of beef to rest in a climate-controlled place for a period of time. Natural enzymes start to break down the muscle tissue, tenderizing the meat. Wet-aging involves those same large cuts. They are vacuum-sealed to retain moisture and kept in refrigerators while the enzymes do the tenderizing work.

It was definitely a fundamentally

"It was definitely a fundamentally superior and delicious steak. I borderline overcooked it on a hot charcoal grill (the bane of the strip steak, which in my experience can go from perfect to overdone in a minute), but was still great. As the budget allows, more aged steaks in my future (btw did a reverse seat, started in the oven at 250 till 115 degrees)."
