Butchering a Strip Loin
Step 1
Buying a whole strip loin is a great way to save money on strip steaks.
Step 2
You'll need to trim away most of the thick "fat cap" on the top side.
Step 3
Next, remove the long section of scraggy meat and fat on the thinnest edge.
Step 4
Cutting the loin yourself allows you to make the steaks just the right thickness.
Step 5
After cutting the steaks, go back and trim the fat around the outer edges to about ¼ inch.
Step 6
Grill some of the steaks now and freeze the remaining ones for another day.
