SRF New York Manhattans are rich with marbling and cut thick. Consider increasing your target temperature by 5°F to fully melt the abundant intramuscular fat.

Manhattans are great on the grill. Use a two-zone cooking set-up with a hot side (with all the charcoal or active gas burner) and a cool side. Bring the steak to the desired temperature on the “cool” side. Add a final sear on the “hot” side.

Internal temperature is the most accurate way to know if your steak is done. Use a good quality thermometer to monitor.

Rest your steak at least 10 minutes before serving to let the internal temperature equalize and allow the juices to be reabsorbed.

Loin

The loin primal supplies some of the most desirable steaks and is located below the backbone, between the rib and round sections. The sirloin is the portion toward the rear of the loin and is the source of top sirloin steaks and the picanha (coulotte). The front portion of the loin is known as the short loin and is home to the New York strip, Porterhouse, T-bone and filet mignon steaks.

FAQ

Find answers to our customers' most commonly asked questions.

What is SRF Gold Plus™?

SRF Gold Plus™ is the highest grade of beef we offer at Snake River Farms, with a Beef Marbling Score (BMS) of 11 to 12. This level of marbling delivers an exceptional eating experience with an incredibly tender texture and rich, buttery flavor. If you're looking for a steak that melts in your mouth and offers the ultimate in luxury, SRF Gold Plus™ is the perfect choice.

What’s the difference between a NY Striploin block and a New York strip?

A NY Striploin block is a square-cut New York Strip. It’s hand cut to a specific weight (either 6 or 8 oz.) and is trimmed of all external fat and extraneous material. The result is a perfectly portion steak that has the eating quality of a New York – intense marbling, a firm bite and all the rich beefy flavor.

What cut is the NY Striploin block?

The NY Striploin block is cut from the longissimus dorsi muscle located in the loin primal. It is the center portion of the muscle and its thick round shape is similar in appearance to a filet mignon. The flavor and texture is very similar to a New York strip.

What makes a NY Striploin Block different from a traditional New York strip steak?

A NY Striploin Block is a square-cut, center-cut striploin designed for precision and consistency. Unlike a traditional steak cut, its uniform shape allows for an even sear on all sides and consistent doneness throughout. It is well suited for chef-style preparation and refined plating.

Which New York Strip product is right for me?

The right choice depends on how you plan to cook and serve the beef:

Wagyu NY Strip Slices are best for everyday cooking like sandwiches, Philly cheesesteaks, stir fries, and steak and eggs. These thin slices come from end-cut New York strip steaks and are designed for versatility.
Wagyu NY Manhattan Slices (also known as NY striploin slices) are center-cut slices with SRF Gold Plus™ marbling. These 8mm slices are ideal for hot pot, shabu shabu, and quick searing where tenderness and rich flavor stand out.
Wagyu NY Striploin Block is a square-cut, center-cut striploin designed for precision cooking. Its uniform shape promotes an even sear and consistent doneness from edge to edge.

All three come from the New York strip, but each is prepared for a different cooking experience.

What a delicious piece of

"What a delicious piece of protein. Coming from SRF, who’d expect less? I thought it would be a second rate substitute strip for the NY original. I was wrong. SRF should hire me. Not as a purveyor, maybe a taste tester would be more suitable for me. Be good and a buy yourself a good steak."
