Club Steak – What is a Club Steak?
Simply put, the Club Steak is a Strip Steak or New York Strip Steak with the bone left in.
Don’t be Confused –
A Club Steak is very similar to a T-bone steak or Porterhouse steak but does not contain any of the tenderloin. A porterhouse steak contains much of the tenderloin. Both are similar in taste and do well with grilling.
Beef Club Steak is also called a Bone-In Strip Steak or New York Strip Steak. It is the short loin (middle of the back) cut of steak. It is the thick side of a T-bone and one of the most popular cuts in the world. The best ones are fairly firm with lots of delicious marbling.
We are all pretty familiar with two of the best cuts of meat – the T-Bone and the Porterhouse Steak. The Club Steak is just the thick side of the T-bone steak and is considered one of the most popular cuts in the world.
