    I love NY strip. I know ribeyes are fattier, but nothing hits for me like a NY strip.

    You want to make sure you’re rendering the fat in a slow cook. Whether front or reverse sear, you want the steak to spend time in indirect, low heat, whether the oven or the cool side of a grill. Don’t just sear/pan fry your meat. This allows are the intermuscular fat to render. The fat cap as well.

    If you have a nice fat cap, make sure to sear that, too.

  2. Why is this sub so hooked on these two cuts? I love a hangar, flat iron, chuck eye, flank, and tri tip too! I know that ribeye/NY are good, but isn’t variety the spice of life? (And often a lot cheaper!)

    Average ribeye beats average strip

    Best strip beats best ribeye

    If im cooking it ribeye. If its at a steak house Id prefer a strip. Ive had too many bad, grissly, chewy ribeyes from steak houses.

    Strips are the gateway to fattier steaks.

    Even a properly cooked sirloin is tasty and has lots of yummy beefy flavor. C’est la vie.

    Used to be ribeye but my body doesn’t like the fat now that I go older so newyork is my go to now.

    All steak is good steak.

    Ribeye in the best cut.

    Strips 100%. I am just not a huge fan of the fattier cuts.

    A really good ny strip is often better than ribeyes for me.

    Used to be all about Ribeyes when I ate commercial feedlot beef. Switched to grassfed organic years ago and now I’m all about the New York. More flavor. Not as grisly.

    prefer ribeye but with the fat rendered tho. its gristly cause you didn’t cook it enough, the fat is still stringy, sear then low and slow.

    or just sous vide it if you’re having problems.

    I thought this was a joke question until I read the comments. It blows my mind that 100% of the answers aren’t ribeye.

    Ribeye.. but at $26/lb on sale it’s a treat. I also don’t eat the fat strip or the “eye”.

    New York.

    Grew up eating wild game 4-5 nights a week. Father is a hunter who always had elk, venison, waterfowl and moose on the table which are much less fatty than beef. I don’t particularly like fat and gristle, so New York is my preference of the two.

    Ribeyes all the way. And nothing can make the gristle less chewy. You just have to cut/eat around it. Strip steaks usually have some weird hard fat/silver skin lines running through them.
