New York Strip is described as which of the following?

• A. 12 oz., Char Seasoning, Strip (short loin), Boneless
• B. 12 oz., Char Seasoning, Strip, Boneless
• C. 12 oz., Grill Seasoning, Filet, Boneless
• D. 14 oz., Char Seasoning, Strip, Bone-in

Answer: (A)

New York Strip is a boneless steak cut from the short loin, and its typical menu description includes a specific portion size, the cut name with its location, and a seasoning style. The best description matches all of that: a 12 oz portion, seasoned with Char Seasoning, labeled as Strip from the short loin, and served boneless. This aligns with how the cut is defined and presented: Strip indicates the cut, short loin identifies the source muscle, boneless confirms no bone, and 12 oz is a common, standard portion size for this steak. The other options drift from that identity—one uses a different seasoning, another pairs the Strip with the Filet (a different cut from a different muscle group), and the last describes a 14 oz bone-in version, which isn’t how a typical New York Strip is offered.
