Kansas City Strip
With Pacific Island Soy Sauce |
|
A Kansas City Strip Steak or also known as a New York Strip Steak depending on which part of the U.S. you live in is a tender, juicy and very satisfying cut of beef to enjoy. With the advent of lean beef during the past 10 years we have found that the lack of fat and moisture in beef and other meats has made it quite simple to ruin a piece of meat by over cooking or marinating that years ago would have been saved because of the proper fat and moisture content. Use the following tips and seasoning to grill an excellent strip steak, t-bone, or porterhouse steak.
