Grilled Strip Steak

The strip steak, New York strip, or Kansas City strip is one side of the T-bone. It has excellent flavor and a common restaurant item but is tougher than the other side of the T-bone, the fillet. It is best cooked medium rare, but not more than medium or it will be quite tough.
