hello my name is Matt Christensen from
urban farmer restaurant in Portland
Oregon and today we're going to be
teaching you how to cut a New York strip
steak and this is being done from a
whole prime short loin the short loin
has both the New York Strip on one side
and the Tenderloin on the other so the
first step is to free it from the bone
down here we have our feather bones
we're just going to pop through each of
those following it all the way down to
the spine on the other side we're going
to free it from the backbone as well and
where these two things meet the New York
comes straight off of the end so later
on we can take the Tenderloin off or we
have a bandsaw and we can cut a bone-in
tenderloin out of this piece now we have
our New York Strip if there's been any
sinew or connective tissue on the bone
we'll trim that up
and all these parts that have lots of
fat and neat in them are great for your
grind for your burgers on the back of
here there's a back strap it's on this
side it's again a connective tissue
that's really tough when you grill it so
we'll take that off
another name for is the silver skin so
this color again it's basically a tendon
that holds the meat to the bone we're
going to take it about halfway back you
can feel how thick it is as you're
butchering it and once it gets thinned
out a little bit that's where you can
stop this side of the New York is where
it's connected to the ribeye the side of
New York is where it's connected to the
shoulder and so this is gonna have a
little bit more connective tissue and
there's gonna be a little bit um more
tender I like to cut nice big 14-ounce
steaks out of this making it nice and
juicy in the middle
and you can see on here there's a nice
tail which has a nice pad on it which
will keep the meat moist as you grill it
this has been how to butcher a New York
strip steak I'm a Christensen thank you
