Strip loin, or strip steak, is a tender cut of beef, taken from an area directly behind the ribs of a cow. Strip loin steak works well served alongside salad, potatoes or creamy soup. In most grocers, strip loin is one of the pricier cuts of meat. Take care to prepare the meat correctly to get the most for your money. Allow for approximately six and a half hours of prep, marinating and roasting time before serving the meat.
