A “bone-in New York strip steak” is a cut of beef taken from the short loin of a cow, featuring the characteristic New York strip steak profile with the bone still attached, providing extra flavor and a visually appealing presentation while cooking, often considered a premium steak choice due to its tenderness and rich taste; the bone helps insulate the meat near it, potentially leading to a more juicy result compared to a boneless strip steak. Also referred too as the “Kansas City Steak”.
